Pop essentials and a little bit more

Max Holley – ‘Midnight Fantasy’

by Essentially Pop | Posted on 26/01/2016

‘Midnight Fantasy’ is the first release from singer/songwriter Max Holley.

Starting out as a mellow acoustic number, Max’s voice swells over the strong drumbeat. It’s a love song (or rather a love lost song), with a listen-again quality about it, clearly written from personal experience, with Max’s anguish, pain and hurt made clear in the lyrics. It’s not a bad first offering: the song is both lyrically and musically well done; a fine composition. Vocally Max reminds us a little of Troye Sivan, and his guitar playing more than amply illustrates his musical talent.

Max has been in the studio working on some more tracks, and if ‘Midnight Fantasy’ is anything to go by, we’re excited to hear them.
