Holding You Single Review

This is certainly not the genre that I relish, which is exactly why I wanted to review this EP. I have had the pleasure of meeting Stan Walker on two occasions and he is a charming man. 

The cover of Bonnie Raitt’s I Can’t Make You Love Me, is one very powerful song. The vocals of Ginny Blackmore and Stan Walker compliment each other perfectly and the ballad will have all the teenagers crying into each others arms, especially on the evening after a break up. However, this is the third song on this EP and the one I watched on YouTube first.

The first song on the EP is the single called Holding You, which is a more upbeat typical pop track which to be honest is not as good a song as I Can’t Make You Love Me. There is certainly nothing wrong with it but the production sounds boring, flat and everything with the song is in it’s typical manufactured place. With no musical or lyrical surprises and being produced for a particular audience, it is sure to be a hit.

Teenagers will love it for what it is, but it’s not a great song.
