Review - The Elements - Holding Out / Deep Freeze (Single)

The Elements - Holding Out / Deep Freeze (Single)

View The Review

4 out of 10

The Elements have already had minor success; reaching number nine on the 'Radio One Indie Chart' and their second single 'Holding Out' is released in Acid Jazz Records.

The single starts with crashing guitars of epic proportions, but soon calms down when the vocal comes in. I struggle to find this song commercial, the chorus contains weak hooks and the vocal isn't strong enough to keep me captivated.

'Deep Freeze' is a bit more commercial, with a driving, happy intro and a generally upbeat vibe throughout the track. Although the chorus is still weak, it is more passable than 'Holding Out'. Whilst I have heard worse, I won't beat around the bush and admit I've heard much better.
