Chris Assaad’s latest single, Holy Place, is a companion for the creative journey and an anthem for those who have dedicated their lives to mastering their craft and walking the path less traveled.
The first co-produced song by Assaad and his longtime collaborator, Joby Baker (Deva Premal, Alex Cuba), Holy Place seamlessly blends a diverse palette of vintage, bluesy, soul flavors with more modern, folk, and singer-songwriter textures. This sonic tapestry, warm and organic, highlights Chris’ deep, rich, and soul-stirring vocals. The haunting opening invites the listener on a deep desert pilgrimage, evoking the lonely, relentless climb of the artist’s hero’s journey. The seeking is rewarded with a hymnal chorus that uplifts and affirms the sacred act of making art as a form of prayer and harvesting beauty from our greatest challenges.
Holy Place is a must-listen.
