If you’ve been craving something cinematic, shadowy, and unapologetically moody, HOLDN just delivered it in full. Her latest single, “talk,” doesn’t tiptoe around your emotions — it drags them into a dimly lit room and dares you to stay a while.


From the very first note, “talk” wraps you in its dark pop atmosphere — eerie synths, brooding beats, and HOLDN’s voice floating somewhere between a whisper and a war cry. It’s not just a song. It’s a slow burn. A vibe. A moment suspended in smoke and static.


Lyrically, “talk” cuts deep. It’s that emotional tug-of-war between saying what needs to be said and knowing silence might be safer. There's tension woven into every beat — cinematic without being overproduced, dramatic without losing its cool. HOLDN doesn’t just write songs. She builds entire worlds you can live (and spiral) in.


And she’s no stranger to drama — in the best way. With a sound described as gritty alt-pop with a punch, HOLDN’s carved out a lane that's all her own. Whether she's playing at iconic venues like Webster Hall or bringing her fire to the Vans Warped Tour stage, her presence is magnetic. She doesn’t perform at you — she pulls you into the story with her, eyes locked, pulse rising.



Named a “one to watch” by NJ.com, HOLDN is part of a rare breed of artists who manage to be both raw and polished, vulnerable and fierce. Her sound is synth-heavy but sharp, edgy but still packed with heart. Think dark alley pop music — beautiful, but with teeth.


“talk” is the kind of track that could easily score a late-night scene in a thriller or play during the breakdown of a relationship you weren’t ready to let go of. It’s the emotional soundtrack for when your thoughts are louder than anyone’s words.


So don’t just listen to “talk.” Sit with it. Let it smolder. Let it haunt. HOLDN isn’t here to make noise. She’s here to leave a mark.
