Alex Frew – 'Something To Hold Onto'

Toronto singer-songwriter Alex Frew makes a stand for mental health awareness with emotive new single ‘Something To Hold Onto’. 

‘Something To Hold Onto’ drags you deep into messy waters. With immersive pop beats and a dramatic chorus, the track feels like liquid despair wrapping around Alex’s hypnotic vocals. His lyricism, as poignant as it is poetic, explores themes of self-doubt, toxic habits and self-criticism through the eyes of those very vices themselves. “This is a viewpoint that I have always wanted to explore in my songwriting,” Alex explains. “It’s asking: “If my addictions had the ability to speak, what would they say?” This song is a way in which I can navigate that perspective”.

Following a string of striking singles, ‘Something To Hold Onto’ once again sets Alex Frew apart as an exceptional singer and songwriter creating captivating soundscapes by wearing his heart on his sleeve. After all, there is nothing more alluring than a deep dive into breath-taking emotions.
