“I’ll Be Holding” casts a vibe fit for late-night retrospection. The track precedes Miel‘s new album, Tourist Season, on July 22nd. A former Vine star now churning out melodic dream-pop, Miel worked on the album with her brother, producer and multi-instrumentalist Henri Bardot. The lush vocal tone and nocturnal soundscape remind fondly of Chromatics, with the “give it up,” chorus escalating with melodic enjoyment. Prancing backing synths approach around 02:30, adding effectively to the dreamy allure. “I’ll Be Holding” is a thorough success from Miel.
