The Staves have shared new single ‘You Held It All’.
The group are currently in a state of evolution, with sister Emily Staveley-Taylor taking a slight step back. She isn’t present on this new single, the first to present The Staves formally as a duo, and their first release since 2021’s ‘Good Woman’.
Out now, ‘You Held It All’ marks their inaugural release on Communion Records, a moment of refreshment and overhaul. Produced alongside close friend John Congleton in Los Angeles, it finds The Staves tapping back into their core values, emerging renewed in the process.
Lilting melodies with a touch of West Coast sunrise to the arrangement, The Staves somehow manage to sound more mature, more rounded.
The group comment…
“’You Held It All’ is a song about understanding, and the knots we tie ourselves in when we don’t express our truth; and how much power and freedom there can be when we do.”
Tune in now.
