Neo-R&B Artist Driftwood. Shares Stunning New Single “Hold Onto Your Light”

New York-based neo-R&B artist Driftwood. has shared his commanding new single “Hold Onto Your Light”.

Combining his talents as both a visual artist and musician, Driftwood. blends real-life inspiration with steamy beats and effortless soundscapes, alongside an elegant visual accompaniment that has the artist moving through the streets of Brooklyn.

Executive produced and written by Driftwood. himself, “Hold Onto Your Light” captures the energy and experience of community around New York City. He explains:

Hold onto your Light was a song I created in Jersey, while I was in America writing and recording with some incredible people. It also features a special sample vocal appearance by fellow collaborator LVNDVN who I locked away and wrote a ton of songs with while I was in Jersey. We literally set up a studio in an Air BnB in the winter and just wrote day and night, making beats and singing over vibes. I was also commuting back and forth to New York City every day during this process, so it was an incredible crossroads of energy that I was soaking up every single day, and I think the energy comes through in this single. I wasn’t listening to any one genre in particular – this genre is literally the joint composition of so many influences and experiences I’ve been collecting over the last 5-6 years as an artist, and now travelling and touching these energies in real life and being amongst these atmospheres – it organically expressed itself.” 

The video for Hold Onto Your Light further elaborates on Driftwood.’s renowned work as a visual creative, with Driftwood. working as the director of photography and editor for the clip, delicately bringing to life a mixture of slow-mo, colour pops and a wintry aesthetic.
