Irish singer-songwriter Sive - aka Sadhbh O’Sullivan - returns with her idiosyncratic new single, Holding, out now via Veta Records. The single once again showcases Sive’s ability to defy genre, combining elements of folk, jazz and world music to create her own unique sound. Ethereal harmonies soar effortlessly over the hypnotic kalimba accompaniment, whilst Sive’s velvet-like vocal is able to take centre stage. Holding tackles the emotional subject of wanting to wipe the slate clean and start a fresh, but feeling like something is keeping you stuck.
