SINGLE REVIEW: Chicago ALT-Soul Band Hollyy Release Double-Sided Single 'Sailing' And 'Hesitate'

FOR FANS OF: Alabama Shakes, Kings of Leon, Hippo Campus

Hollyy are an alt-soul band from Chicago, a band who's music is smooth and warm, who's music is full of life and real feeling. Last month, they released a double-sided single which consisted of the tracks "Sailing" and "Hesitate." Hollyy's music is pure joy for your ears, a true delight.


"Sailing" is a smooth, happy track about sailing out on the sea, going towards the sunset, heading towards peace & paradise, asking the listener to join them. It makes me long for summer, for warm weather and sharing smiles over fun drinks with my friends. "Sailing" is a really beautiful song sonically, Hollyy are obviously very skilled with their instruments and it shows. I adore this track, it's my favorite between the two.


"Hesitate" is a track about not wanting to keep wasting time figuring out what to do, who to be, and how to love. It's a very emotionally vulnerable song. It's those feelings of lost and confusion that young people often face. It's a great song, I love it. Hollyy have a way of making even hard topics sound cozy.


Overall, I love both of these tracks. Hollyy's music is almost cinematic music, music that inspires a movie scene to play out in your head. They make the kind of music that belongs in beautiful, happy, tear-jerker rom-coms, and I love it. You could write entire fictional romance novels just based off of just one Hollyy track, and I think that's wonderful. Hollyy make lovely music that inspires, that makes you dream, that makes you think.


This month, Hollyy released a live session that they recorded with Audiotree, you can listen to it now here on Spotify, or watch it below on YouTube.



Hollyy will release more music this year, along with a double-sided vinyl with "Sailing" and "Hesitate" on it that you'll be able to buy.
