Moyka — I Don't Wanna Hold On (Official Video)

My debut album "The Revelations of Love" is out now. 💘

"I am very fond of concepts which are easy to interpret, but maybe not the most obvious. So in my mind, this song takes place after a party is over. Everyone has gone home and the sun is rising again. What inspired the song in the first place was the feeling of the sorrow from the heartbreak that followed me around all the time, and how I wanted to let go of it. How I wish I could wake up and it would be gone. In the music video, I wanted it to be a choice to let go. So I have to make a decision. The music video was filmed by Sara Westergaard Karlsen and we actually were so lucky to borrow my manager Jennifer’s apartment for this video. Thank you, Jennifer! Robin Larsen helped me and Sara direct it and I think it turned out great. I Don’t Wanna Hold On was inspired by the feeling of wanting to let go of the sorrow of a heartbreak. The setting represents that a wild party has happened in the room, which is a symbol of a storm of a love that once was, but is now over". - Moyka

About Moyka
Growing up in the forests of Norway’s Hallingdal Valley, 23-year-old Monika Engeseth nursed the dream – or rather, the conviction – that she’d one day be creating music. But she couldn’t have predicted the intense, electronic landscapes she’d make for her debut EP: after just a few months working in the engine room of music production, the young artist has emerged as a one-woman pop factory. She wrote her first song at just ten years old, inspired by the loss of a friend who was moving away and the theme of saying goodbye. Its heady mix of pain, confusion, and eventual resolution – remains a rich subject for this suite of robust, endlessly melodic pop songs.

A couple of years ago, enrolling in a music production degree in Bergen, Moyka “dived into the synth world.” From the moment it opened to the moment it closed, she was in school, covering herself in the complex electronic landscapes. Working with Cubase and soft synths and samples, she learned how to create, blow by blow, “my own, mystical, synth-driven universe.”
Moyka is a contradiction: a private person who writes confessional music. Anyone who wants to know who she is is all there in the songs – mysterious, magical, but accessible. “I want to create a mystical universe,” she reaffirms, “where people can feel at home.”, says Moyka.

Why do you have to be the best in the whole wide world ever? 💜🧡💚

[stephen-martin-sunderland]

Knowing when to keep something simple is amazing. Just lying there staring into your own thoughts when the world is too heavy for you and you cannot stand up. We've all been there x

[stolenhal]

When the party is over, the fun is gone & you are left alone to contemplate your life decisions. 🥺

In concept, laying on the floor for three minutes isn’t exactly the most interesting video, but somehow you worked it out. I was absolutely engrossed the whole time. Love this.

Absolutely your best version of this song. Perfect sounds/instruments. A friend of mine played the number and I was 99% sure that it's from Norway because I know the sound.
