Written together with veteran producers Andy and Thom Mak and Melbourne songstress Gossling, “Hold” has resulted in a real, raw and powerful song.

Hold is the first song in her five-track album, it’s a song about finding someone who pulls you out of a dark place. It’s about when you’ve opened your heart so many times to people and you finally find that person who is there to protect you, to look after you, even when you’ve hurt them and they’ve hurt you. You never give up on them.

Vera once said in an interview, “I’ve always wanted to create something that’s a blend of folk and cool, heavy, thick sounds. This is the music I have been wanting to make and I feel like I’m unleashing.”
