If you’re already familiar with dark pop mistress D’Arcy, you know you’re in for a good time. If not, you can listen to her latest release, ‘hold still’, below:

Let’s give you some context. Three years ago D’Arcy released her debut album, The art of flying. Fans went crazy and the press loved it. One reviewer called it “scary good,” while another said it was “one of the best albums I’ve ever heard.” In addition to her studio releases, D’Arcy’s live performances are moody and atmospheric audiovisual experiences. The resulting combination of music and atmosphere delivers enchanting shows that are both emotional and powerful. D’Arcy is also known for her exciting DJ skills in techno and house music, filling dancefloor venues such as the Good Room, Le Bain, Public and many more with her music. Now she has released her new single/video titled ‘hold still’, which explores themes of sadness and the chaotic nature of life.

“’Hold still’ both means that I will always hold you and that I will keep you still despite whatever chaos and sadness may come. You may notice somewhere that the first video was made by me of my partner, and the second video was made by my partner Leah Wasilewski, of me.

D’Arcy’s m,elody is beautifully constructed, with powerful vocals and heartbreaking yet comforting lyrics. Her signature style is in full force, with dark and brooding tones that touch the deepest corner of your soul. The video itself is reminiscent of old video tap footage you might find in the attic. It feels like coming home after a long journey and reliving the memories created during your absence. It is a moving tribute, one that conveys a palpable sense of serenity. The images evoke a certain nostalgia, as if the video was recorded decades ago. All in all, this is a moving piece that will certainly capture your heart.

When the party is over
I will be your comfort, I will be everything
When you feel like crying
I will be your light and I will be everything
