It&#8217;s a love song (or rather a love lost song), with a listen-again quality about it, clearly written from personal experience, with Max&#8217;s anguish, pain and hurt made clear in the lyrics. It&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Max has been in the studio working on some more tracks, and if\u00a0&#8216;Midnight Fantasy&#8217; is anything to go by, we&#8217;re excited\u00a0to hear them.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/max-holley-2\/midnight-fantasy-max-holley-original<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Midnight Fantasy&#8217; is the first release from singer\/songwriter Max Holley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16184,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[57,9],"tags":[199,3139,4216,68,77,1181,4215],"class_list":["post-17424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-artists","category-new-releases","tag-guitar","tag-max-holley","tag-midnight-fantasy","tag-new-music","tag-new-release","tag-singer-songwriter","tag-troye-sivan"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-4x2","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":16175,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2015\/12\/essential-weekly-playlist-max-holley\/","url_meta":{"origin":17424,"position":0},"title":"The Essential Weekly Playlist of: Max Holley","author":"Essentially Pop","date":"04\/12\/2015","format":false,"excerpt":"This week's Essential Playlist comes from Max Holley, an up and coming singer songwriter.
