Mahalia

Having impressed with gorgeous first single, "Sober," British songstress Mahalia is back with the tropical flavored "Hold On." Produced by Nana Rogues (Drake's "Passionfruit") and Jay Prince, "Hold On" is a bubbling R&B jam with a hint of modern pop filtered throughout. Mahalia enlists Compton rapper Buddy for a few bars towards the tracks end, adding another layer to "Hold On" and complementing Mahalia's soothing vocals. Of the tack itself, Mahalia says: "'Hold On' was a tune that needed to come out of me for a long time and it finally did when I stumbled upon an old flame of mine in my home town. It's a long story so I won't go into it... however, I originally wrote 'Hold On' in the studio with Jay Prince. I then had a little session with Buddy during his recent trip to London and he came at me with the geezas perspective...! Have a listen – hope you enjoy.”
