Los Angeles, CA November 21st, 2024 – Emerging indie alt-rock band, Your Favorite Color, has just dropped a surprise for their fans: an electrifying cover of the Thompson Twins’ 1984 hit, “Hold Me Now.” The release marks a milestone for the band, who promised fans the song if they hit 10,000 followers on Instagram. Now, with nearly 16,000 followers, the band has more than exceeded their goal. Your Favorite Color’s take on “Hold Me Now” is now available on all streaming platforms.
“The band has always drawn inspiration from the 80s,” Your Favorite Color shares. “‘Hold Me Now’ was a track we noticed hadn’t been covered many times before. We thought we’d take a crack at it, and we’re happy with the outcome.”
With a contemporary and alt-rock-inspired twist, Your Favorite Color’s “Hold Me Now” captures the song’s original intimacy and vulnerability and highlights the necessity of love in navigating life's challenges. The track explores the dual nature of relationships, blending joy and closeness with the inevitable obstacles. It tells a story of vulnerability, regret and redemption, where love and resilience keep the connection alive through all of life's highs and lows. Staying true to their emotive and nostalgic sound, Your Favorite Color’s rendition of the track honors an era that influences their unique style while providing a fresh and heartfelt perspective to the original track.
With their song “Medicine” from their debut album For You currently trending on Instagram, Your Favorite Color also recently concluded a whirlwind tour as part of the opening lineup for The Driver Era’s ‘X Girlfriend’ tour across Europe. Over the course of 26 shows in 14 countries, including stops in Lisbon, Madrid, Paris, London and Oslo, the band captivated audiences with their dynamic performances. Enlisted by The Driver Era, the sibling duo of Rocky and Ross Lynch, Your Favorite Color brought their signature blend of gritty alt-rock and nostalgic melodies to thousands of
fans. The tour significantly expanded their global fanbase and earned them praise from The Sun, which highlighted their standout performances.
With “Hold Me Now” as a gift to their growing fan community, Your Favorite Color continues to solidify their place as a rising force in the alt-rock scene.
