Ryan Pulford - 'Holding You Close'
American singer-songwriter/ producer Ryan Pulford shares a beautiful ode to healthy love on nostalgic indie pop tune, ‘Holding You Close’.
Ryan Pulford pours a fresh energy into 80s retro inspired indie pop on ‘Holding You Close’. The track opens with familiar, nostalgic guitar textures, seeing Pulford’s smooth and appealing vocal chime in with a soothing, playful lull that reminded me of London pop rock group, Banfi on its lighter more airy range. Pulford also channels a brooding sentimentality to his voice and the production takes on a darker more solemn ambience to represent the sincerity of his words as he explains:
”Holding You Close’ is about finding something extremely real with someone that makes you feel invincible. It came from a place of complete vulnerability and the solace you feel from being that open and comfortable with someone”.
If you’re looking for a laid back tune that is wistful and romantic yet gritty, with a rough around the edges, crunchy kick to it, ‘Holding You Close’ is the perfect song for you.
