Disclosure es un dúo británico creado en el 2010 por los hermanos Guy y Howard Lawrence, oriundos de Reigate, Surrey (Reino Unido). Ambos hermanos decidieron orientarse hacia la música electrónica, enfocándose a su vez en el house, en el deep house y algunas variantes del funk. Dos años después de crear la banda, los hermanos vieron éxito con algunos sencillos y en el 2013 lanzaron su primer álbum llamado "Settle", donde se destacó un tema interpretado junto a Sam Smith llamado "Latch".
En este año lanzaron el álbum "Caracal", donde aparte de Smith, colaboraron otros músicos como Lorde y Lion Babe, y en el cual está incluida la canción que compartiré hoy. El álbum logró un primer lugar en las listas del Reino Unido y los videos de las canciones que lo componen forman una historia distópica donde la protagonista es perseguida por las autoridades sin una razón aparente.
"Holding on" es cantada por el músico norteamericano Gregory Porter, especialista en el jazz y nacido en Sacramento, Estado de California en 1971. Logró ganar un premio Grammy en su categoría y especialidad con su álbum "Liquid Spirit" el año pasado. Su voz le da fuerza al tema y logra un impacto tremendo en quien la escucha, generando cierto nivel de identificación junto a su letra, escrita además por el mismo Porter, por James Napier y por Howard Lawrence.
¡Escuchen y disfruten, queridos amigos!

I thought that it would be easier than this,
I found my heart had grown colder,
but the warmth of your kiss, I can't dismiss."
