Following the release of “Illuminate”, featuring vocals from Olly Alexander of Years & Years, London producer William Phillips, aka Tourist, delivers a beauty of a tune in the form of “Holding On”, a vocal duet from Sydney-born, London-based singer-songwriter Josef Salvat and New York singer and pianist Niia. “Holding On” gives us another fine taste of what to expect from Tourist’s forthcoming debut album, set to drop later this year.
“’Holding On’” is the record that defines the tone of the album, both sonically and conceptually. I hadn’t heard many duets for a while and I thought it would be an interesting way to convey something that might have been slightly one-dimensional had it only been through one persons perspective,” says Tourist.
The single “Holding On” will arrive on May 24th on Polydor. Pre-order it here.
