Hold On Baby: King Princess’ Slice of Sincere Indie Pop

Hold On Baby is the second album from up-and-coming artist, King Princess, aka Mikaela Strauss. Strauss said that her previous work has focused more on the heartbreak done to her, however, she expressed that this record marked how she ‘finally reached a point where I had to turn the barrel on myself’. What that means then for Hold On Baby, is a turning inwards, a move towards self-reflection and occasionally self-critical. Incorporating, aspects of indie pop, indie rock and electropop, Strauss is at her best when she makes songs full of tension and release (like Change The Locks or Dotted Lines).
