Today I have the honour to host the premiere of a new song. It’s the duo KALK who are releasing their debut single “Hold Tight” today. The duo consists of Julia Simonson and Freja Drakenberg, who in November subsequently will release their debut EP.

I immediately fell for this song. On the surface it’s a catchy pop track with an interesting and a bit different chorus. But there are more elements in the song that caught me: the sweeping synth pads that drift back and forth like a warm breeze in the song, and the lightness in a rather percussion-heavy track, but which still feels effortless. They write about the meaning of the song:

“Hold Tight deals with the dilemma of making a choice with either your heart or your brain, and how that dilemma can drive you crazy. Hold Tight is about making the easy choice before the right choice, ignoring about what’s really the best for you.”
