The Irish Prince Of Pop Releases His Second UK Single

Shobsy continues his rise as Ireland’s answer to modern pop royalty with Hold Me Up, a deeply personal and anthemic track that showcases his emotive songwriting and soaring vocals.

Following the success of Champagne, this new single cements his place alongside contemporaries like The Weekend and Years & Years, blending glossy synth-pop with heartfelt lyricism.

At its core, Hold Me Up is a spiritual conversation, a plea for resilience in tough times rather than an escape from pain. The vulnerability in the lyrics paired with an uplifting sound makes it a track that resonates with listeners who have faced their own struggles. Shobsy’s signature falsetto and dynamic vocal delivery ensure that every note lands with sincerity.

The production likely follows his previous releases—polished, cinematic, and rich in 80s-inspired textures. Given the glowing reception of his previous singles, it wouldn’t be surprising if Hold Me Up continues to receive strong international airplay and industry buzz.

His recent publishing deal with Pangea (partnered with Sony) and his upcoming performances at SXSW and in LA further indicate that his momentum is only growing.

If Hold Me Up follows in the footsteps of Champagne, it’s bound to be another hit for Shobsy. With a blend of introspection and infectious pop energy, this track is well-positioned to connect with fans both in Ireland and beyond. Definitely one to watch!
