Vlad Holiday, a musical shapeshifter originally from Romania and now based in Nashville, collaborates with Kacey Musgraves on "I Don't Wanna Party Anymore." The mischievous and sultry track embodies all the jazzy, lo-fi elements reminiscent of a Bond song. By using tape delay on Musgraves' vocals and drawing on his own talent for experimenting with equipment, Holiday brings a unique style to the duet that we haven't heard from either artist before.
The two musicians were introduced to each other a couple of years ago by mutual acquaintances. They often found themselves singing along to an acoustic guitar as the sun rose after a late-night gathering, and because of the lyrics of "I Don't Wanna Party Anymore," their collaboration felt effortless.
Holiday shares, “About the feeling the day after a long bender, sick of going through the serotonin dip over and over again, realizing you should probably change your ways and be better to yourself — BUT getting pulled back in and having the process start all over again.”
Vlad Holiday has built a career around romanticizing the past and exploring love and relationships through a melancholic lens. His sound is heavily influenced by his experiences of feeling like an outsider. As an independent artist, he has gained over 40 million streams. Born in Bucharest, Romania, he moved to New York and is now based in Nashville. He shapes his music with a downtown NYC lo-fi sound and loves vintage recording equipment.
Holiday has just put out his first solo release of the year. He has been extremely busy in the past few months, with one of his standout achievements being his co-writing credits on Cage The Elephant's "Neon Pill," "Metaverse," and "Over Your Shoulder."
He will be touring with Cage The Elephant, YoungBakar in August The Giant, and for the Neon Pill Tour.
