Crowning a stellar career, international songwriter and singer Skye Holland releases ‘Dear Anxiety’, an uplifting yet emotional bop. Focusing on the way many of us grapples with anxiety, the song declares: “Dear Anxiety, why won’t you let me be?”, launching a fierce scream of empowerment into the airwaves. The release follows up from a productive year for the Canadian songstress, releasing a plethora of singles and collaborations including a highly successful cover version of ‘Running Up The Hill’ by Kate Bush.
Frequently in writing sessions collaborating with producers and labels, Holland is a known name in the industry, an industry mesmerised by her evocative yet controlled, malleable vocals and her ability to always find the right words. ‘Dear Anxiety’ is further evidence of that. Built over a bubbly, modern EDM-pop instrumental, the record explodes into a glorious, relatable and memorable chorus, reiterating its radio-ready status.
Gearing up to be the next big hit, ‘Dear Anxiety’ plays on a dark theme with playful nonchalance, playing down its heaviness and offering much-needed solace. A really good record.
