Singles Releasing in 2023

Down To It, Holland's first pop vocal single of the year (and released in April), takes a look at living and working in the big city - in this case, New York City.  Fun and upbeat, it was originally titled When You Get Right Down To It.

Eleven After Midnight

2021 Album release

Midnight at the Agora

This upbeat instrumental pop/contemporary instrumental song, releasing in June 2023, sounds like a song that should be played live, hence the reference to one of Cleveland's iconic stages, the Agora Ballroom; a setting that Holland used to play at regularly. Featuring piano and synthesizer leads, it's a rhythmic moving song.

Quotes From Some Of Holland's albums:

Holland's eleventh album released worldwide in September of 2022, and was nominated for Best Contemporary Instrumental album in Europe.  .  Not to be missed, this album is heartfelt, personal and engaging, and it sets a new bar for instrumental albums in the New Age and Contemporary Instrumental genres.  Reviewers call him prolific, and they don't even know the half of it.  Although he writes new material for each of his instrumental albums, he also has a personal backlog of hundreds of songs, both instrumental and vocal.  Holland typically writes and records between the hours of Midnight and dawn's light, because there's less 'noise' during those hours and that helps him hear the music better.  Regardless, that helps him produce singularly addictive melodies and soundscapes.  Not your typical New Age music,the album includes everything from soft and romantic songs all the way to intriguing and powerful

"If you're looking for performances that are full of intriguing heartfelt musical magic, you need look no further than Holland's latest album Standing in Motion."

Dick Metcalf,  Contemporary Fusion Reviews
