“Hold Me Near” is a song by alternative/electronic rock artist Lakotah. The song begins with Lakotah’s amazing vocals which are rich and dynamic. A piano like patch with delay on the accompanies her.
With each phrase, more elements are added to build the exciting arrangement. With the chorus, the beat and bass enter creating a nice tight groove. The intensity of the arrangement and effective subtractive orchestration keeps the song engaging from start to finish. With many syncopated parts, a cool high hat like figure playing straight 16th's effectively glues the arrangement together.
The lyrics in “Hold Me Near” are about a true story. Songs written from first-hand experience and from the heart have the most impact and this one is no different. Right off the top, Lakotah sings about how captivated she is by someone. This lyrics really stands out, and listeners are drawn in.
