Canadian blues, soul, and rock singer-songwriter Marcus Trummer is back with his heartfelt new single, “Holding Out For You,” released on 18th October across all streaming platforms. The song explores the emotional complexity of lost love, reflecting on relationships that slip through the cracks but are never fully forgotten.
“Holding Out For You” is the fourth single from Trummer’s debut album From The Start, which drops on 15th November 2024 via Gypsy Soul Records. Produced by Ross Hayes Citrullo, the album is filled with soulful, reflective tracks featuring contributions from members of The Commoners and Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar’s horn section, adding rich layers of blues, soul, and rock to Trummer’s sound.
Trummer’s powerful lyrics and emotive vocals are front and centre in “Holding Out For You.” He describes the song as a reflection on the “bittersweet emotions of ‘the one that got away,'” with a balance between nostalgia, regret, and hope. With influences ranging from Bill Withers to B.B. King and Jimi Hendrix, Marcus Trummer is quickly making a name for himself in the blues scene. His debut album is highly anticipated, following critical acclaim for his previous work, including his 2022 YYC Music Award win for “Blues Recording of the Year.”
From The Start promises to showcase Trummer’s signature style—a fusion of modern blues, soul, and rock rooted in timeless influences. Featuring standout contributions from a variety of accomplished musicians, the album brings warmth, depth, and a powerful sense of reflection on love and coming-of-age experiences.
