This feel good, groovy, soul anthem, is a cheeky, but desperate plea to a faltering love.
Reminiscent of a classic soul song infused with modern influences such as Alabama Shakes and Amy Winehouse, the song showcases the sultry, gritty power of lead singer Meghan Parnell’s vocals.
The song features the drums with a stlyish and percussive steady high hat pulse influenced by James Gadson, punchy horn shots, and a gospel choir.
“When I first came up with the idea for “Hold Me Down”, I really wanted to mesh Bywater Call’s esthetic with more of a 60’s soul sound” comments guitarist Dave Barnes. “Then Meg came up with that first note, and the song took on a life of it’s own. It’s one of those rare tunes for us that came together surprisingly easily”
The song was recorded at Palace Studios in Toronto, captured and mixed by Patric McGroarty, and mastered by Kristian Montano (Montano Mastering).
The video was shot at High Park Brewery in Toronto by Zack Murray of Lightning House Media.
The single comes hot on the heels of the release of their llive album “Sunshine”, which came out in August to rave reviews.
| What’s being said about 2025’s Sunshine (Live) album
“This album is full of truth, beauty, radiance, and virtuosity. Outstanding! ... Meghan’s vocals attain almost sacred levels of commitment and devotion... An abundance of magical rhythms and some truly amazing instrumental artistry!” “Sunshine is one of those live albums you just have to turn up loud to get the full concert experience ...packed with magical moments and extended instrumental jams that showcase the band’s exceptional talent.” “some of the most heart-lifting and utterly exciting music … in ages… [Sunshine] is a terrific live album. Full of musical heights and the sound of a band playing together and for each other – the very essence of a live album.” |
