“Two years ago, I told Michelle that I thought she had the gift. I am changing ‘thought’ to ‘know.’”
“There are thousands of folk singers who say they’re influenced by the likes of Dylan but where they fall to the wayside is that they offer nothing new or noteworthy to the culture. Where Held emerges above the fray is not just the unique technical qualities of her vocal instrument, multi-textured and commanding, but also her emotional approach to the songs.”
Debut single, The World Moves On, OUT NOW.
That moment when everything unalterably changes forever and yet, somehow the world keeps spinning as if nothing has changed at all.
“This song presents a few opportunities for Michelle to share her memorably one-of-a-kind warble, a vocal texture that helps secure a spot in the listener’s memory and sets her apart from other singer-songwriters in and beyond the folk genre... If you’ve not yet heard ‘The World Moves On,’ you must give it a listen. Or two or three, and remember to listen for all the little things that combine to produce this widely accessible, powerful contemporary folk recording. ”
