New Music: A Great Big World - "Hold Each Other" [Full Audio / Review]
A Great Big World had a huge hit in 2013 with the Christina Aguilera-assisted “Say Something” and that secured the two-piece squad an additional album on Epic Records. The “Is There Anybody Out There?” follow-up is going to definitely be released later in 2015 as the official first single was premiered today (July 21) on radio… on NYC’s Z100 to be more precise. The song is titled “Hold Each Other”, and besides vocals from the AGBW members, the very radio-friendly number also features a verse from rapper Futuristic.
There are similarities and differences between “Say Something” and “Hold Each Other”. The former was a pure ballad, and the latter is more of a mid-tempo. However, both have the quality of making the listener reflect and get a heart-warming emotion out of him. The new A Great Big World single may not have an iconic pop star guesting on it, but what it lacks on superstar power it compensates with a nice chorus, serious radio-friendly vibes and a loving “let’s all love one each other” message.
“Hold Each Other” will be released on iTunes tomorrow, July 22.
