Sonic shapeshifter Vlad Holiday Releases New Single “Closer”

Feels like a covert mission only known between lovers

Romania-born, Nashville-based melancholy romantic Vlad Holiday has just released his new single, “Closer.” It came along with the announcement that his debut record, My Favorite Drug, will be released on November 15 via ONErpm. Feeling like a covert mission, or a secret known only between two lovers, the deeply layered song seems to endlessly build before it is quickly punctuated.

Today’s release features guest vocals from Cage The Elephant’s Matt Shultz, who is also a co-writer on the track. For careful listeners, Shultz’s voice can be heard singing the “ah ah ah ah” hook and some repeated “closers” in the outro.

On “Closer,” Vlad Holiday shares, “This is a love song. It introduces the romantic element of the album. It’s about going with the flow and letting the universe do its thing, rather than forcing things into existence.”

Last month, Holiday was joined by Kacey Musgraves for the bender-ender, genre-fusing track “I Don’t Wanna Party Anymore.” The sultry, mischievous track arrived right on time for his tour dates alongside Cage The Elephant, Young the Giant and Bakar. These shows will be followed up by a string of headline dates as well as a stop at weekend one of Austin City Limits.
