UK-based singer-songwriter Julian Ransom makes music under the Jacre moniker, a project that sees him draw on folk, pop, rock and indie styles to create his own artistic output. Known for his heartfelt lyrics and atmospheric sound, Jacre’s music shines with a uniqueness that’s earned him both critical acclaim and a devoted fan base.
With radio support from platforms like BBC Radio and a growing catalogue of work, Jacre’s storytelling through music has seen him go from strength to strength as an artist. He first made his entrance in April 2020 with his debut single, “With You.” The track marked the beginning of a series of releases, including EPs, remixes and alternate versions before he took a short break from sharing his original material.
This year he returned with a fresh batch of songs, delighting fans and critics alike. His recent single, “Not Falling,” even charted in the USA, debuting at an impressive #4 in San Diego. With a new album set for release in 2025, Jacre is set to offer a collection of tracks that float across the spectrum from intimate indie folk ballads to anthemic pop rock compositions.
Amid this creative resurgence, Jacre unveils his latest single titled “Just Hold On,” a delicate folk pop ballad built on ideas of resilience and healing to offer listeners a moment of reflection and hope. Inspired by a fan who reached out seeking a song to capture their personal journey of overcoming hardship, “Just Hold On” became a profoundly personal project for Jacre.
Opened by the bright flutter of piano notes as soft acoustic guitar tones set the rhythm, Jacre’s impassioned vocals enter to cast beautiful melodies carrying uplifting lyricism via hushed delivery. With elegant string textures and gentle rhythmic sway, Jacre’s vocal leads create memorable melodic moments, resulting in a heartwarming and enjoyable indie folk sound that’s impossible not to love.
With subtle banjo touches, the song flows with a dreamy quality while his alluring vocal performance drifts through the atmospheric musical fabric to present another musical triumph from this talented singer-songwriter. With his forthcoming full-length on the horizon, we can’t wait to see what Jacre has in store for next year and beyond.
