Gently captivating melodies meet smooth, jazz sounds and soulful vocals on Stone Fruit’s latest EP ‘Hold Me Close’. The duo combine their vibrant sound with ethereal production that sends their addictive choruses into the stratosphere. ‘Hold Me Close’ ranges from magical storytelling to upbeat, toe-tapping songs that are impossible to shake off, showcasing the pair’s versatility.
Discussing the new EP, Stone Fruit share:
“‘Hold me close’ is our third EP release. When we write songs, we are allowing ourselves to be guided by our current state of mind and the way that we are experiencing music, instead of worrying about the final result or sticking into a specific genre.
There is bottomless discovery, storytelling, and enjoyment to be found in exploring and combining new sounds and styles. This has become our mantra over the past releases and this EP is no different.
Although all the songs live in a very similar space, they highlight different musings about what is happening around us. In a year haunted by the pandemic, our emotional state as human beings was changing rapidly from one day to the next. We had the privilege to integrate all our emotions and thoughts, whether they were melancholic or joyful in the lyrics, instrumentation, and trajectory of each song. We hope that the listeners can come on a journey with us, interpret the songs in their own way and give them new meaning.”
