Track Of The Day 16/1 – Maximillian

'Hold On'

It's the voice that gets you.

Sure, Maximillian is a potent songwriter, a biting, piercing lyricist, but it's the delivery, the manner in which he sells a song, that truly grabs you.

Early releases such as ‘Higher’, ‘Feelings’, and ‘Strangers’ went international, his soulful blend of alt-pop shades serving to signal the arrival of something new.

Starting the year as he means to go on, Maximillian has returned to his song 'Hold On', shooting a simple but incredibly powerful live session.

Of the song itself, the Danish talent explains:

“I’ve written a song about the bigger picture. How life and family can fall apart and make you want to run away and leave everything behind. But it’s also about the little voice inside your head that tells you to do the right thing: to run back and hold on!”

Beautifully shot, the live shows places focus on Maximillian, his innate charisma, and – of course – that powerful, fluid, intensely emotive voice.

Tune in now.
