While Holiday does feel like a fairly by the numbers piece of commercial pop, it finds a fan through its endearing emotion and its mellow intensity. Boldrini wrote this song while was coming out from a very low period of her life spent struggling with adverse mental health. In that context, Holiday feels like not just a celebration of better times, but also a reminder that those better times are always right around the corner. It reassures you that moments and periods of lull are just that, moments. There will always be lows in life, but they’re never meant to keep you glued to the ground forever. You’ll be left feeling like there’s so much more to fight for, to love for, and to give for.
A holiday for better tomorrows, Holiday is deliciously melodic and infectious as hell for a commercial pop tune to grab you by the legs and the heart all at once.
