Just wait til’ the world gets ahold of this beautifully constructed masterpiece, ‘Hanging On’. The single from British guitarist/songwriter and composer Sophie Lloyd comes as the follow-up to her latest smash, ‘Fall of Man’. ‘Hanging On’ features the vocals of the talented Lauren Babic from RED HANDED DENIAL / CRAZYEIGHTYEIGHT.
Produced by Romesh Dodangoda, the track features the always’ awesome riffs from Sophie Lloyd, Christopher Painter on the drums, and the beaufiful vocals of Lauren Babic. What a winning combination! ‘Hanging On’ is a constellation of emotions that everyone gets from time to time. However, acceptance to society terms is a hard pill to swallow, and often leads to self-destruction. Lauren Babic has a way with writing that not only narrates, but demonstrates her own insecurities which draws fans to a relatable point. Its nice to be understood, but for the most part, we are all living in fear of acceptance….. but just ‘Hanging On’.
Sophie Lloyd’s massive success is no accident! No, indeed, since the age of 10, a young Sophie was fascinated with rock legends like Led Zeppelin while riding in the car with her dad. Sophie stated, “I was a bit of an outcast, I practiced the guitar as a way of escaping reality”. And ladies and gentlemen, that is the exact pedigree of a Star… Usually greatness comes out of despair. While other teenagers indulged with social pleasures, there was Sophie practicing for hours on her Yamaha Pacifica…. Well Sophie Lloyd, all of your hard work and dedication has payed forward!
We love You and wish You Much Success as we ALL ‘HANGING ON’. ~ Renzo
