X Ambassadors – Hold You Down (KIDinaKORNER/Interscope
Records)
X Ambassadors - Hold You Down
Release Date: Out Now
Just when I thought my
relationship with X Ambassadors couldn’t reach any higher heights they go and
bring out ‘Hold You Down’ and I’m just lost for words. For the uninitiated, X Ambassadors
are an American trio featuring the Harris brothers Casey and Sam – Casey is
blind and plays a mean keyboard. This new single is an ode to their brotherly
love and is set to the kind of melody that tugs at the heart strings with Sam
Casey’s vocal maintaining strong soul despite the occasional crack of emotion.
The video utterly seals the deal with some old family footage, some up to date
film of the pair singing at the piano and a climax of them performing in front
of adoring crowds. This is a love song, for sure, but one about having a
sibling that you are so inextricably linked to that you have to walk through
life together and that is surely one of the strongest loves there is.
