Holly Holden’s latest single, “Te Vi Volar” (“I Saw You Fly”), is a captivating fusion of Latin folk and contemporary soul-pop. As the first preview of her upcoming album Al Andar, set for release this summer, the track reflects her deep connection to Latin American and Caribbean music. Holden, a London-based singer-songwriter, has spent years immersing herself in these traditions, shaping a style that blends folkloric elements with modern sensibilities. Written on a Venezuelan cuatro and sung primarily in Spanish with touches of English, the song traces a journey from heartbreak to empowerment, reinforcing her distinctive cross-cultural approach.

Driven by the rhythmic pulse of the cuatro, “Te Vi Volar” weaves together acoustic textures and contemporary production. The arrangement—featuring cuatro, piano, and hand percussion—retains an organic warmth, while Greg Sanders’ electric guitar and bass add depth. This balance between traditional and modern elements highlights Holden’s evolving sound, which leans into folk influences while maintaining the melodic accessibility that defines her songwriting.
