Canadian Singer-Songwriter Arih SK Releases New Album, Alongside Focus Single

Arih SK has just released his new album, Hold It Together, featuring fan-favorite singles like the title track, plus “Reluctant Heart”, and “You Be Good”. Accompanying the album release is the focus single, “Miss You Like I Should”. Overall, Hold It Together is an indie folk gem, showcasing Arih’s personal, poignant lyrics and simple yet compelling melodies.

About the Album:

“The album name comes from the first song, “Hold It Together”. At the beginning, there is a sample of my youngest daughter talking and singing. I think she was around two then and now she’s five. Every time I hear it, I’m hit by the passage of time. Every year it hits harder. So much has changed. It feels sad and beautiful all at once. There are nature sounds throughout the song, and at the end there is a recording of a toy lullaby that she would fall asleep to. So to me, the song feels a bit like a day and a night that starts and ends with family. You hold things together for your family and then your family holds you together. The last song on the album, Let’s Let Time, is about giving in to the flow of time and letting go because we change over time and nothing can last forever.”

About the Focus Single:

“”Miss You Like I Should” is a song about loss and guilt. Loss is sad. But there’s a special kind of sadness when you have lost someone important and enough time has passed that you don’t feel it every day. In those moments of forgetting, the grief is gone, but when you realize that you forgot, there is a feeling of guilt, and I find myself asking why I don’t miss you like I should?”
