Big indie pop vibes blend multi-layered production with soulful vocals and vulnerabilities that feel authentic and intimate. SHTEEL captures the modern appeal of acts like Rag’n’Bone Man and Alex Warren, but also brings through a twist of something like RnB and dream pop in the stylistics.
More than this, the writing is distinctly personal, the rhymes and reflections compelling in their self-reflective reality and openness. These qualities join forces quite beautifully, and in the end, the essence of Hard to Hold is indicative of a self-aware protagonist, someone willing to reassess themselves and their role within the world and relationships.
That angle is rare, and the emotional tone of SHTEEL’s voice delivers it with rightful passion, and some kind of intricate blending of uncertainty and confidence, which naturally draws you in.
