Pushing On Through HollowReed – Your Soundtrack for Life

Valentine’s Day, right? It’s here, knocking at our doors with its usual parade of roses, heart-shaped chocolates, and enough saccharine gestures to make a dentist weep. But love – real love – is not only about candlelit dinners and cliché Instagram posts. Love is persistence, resilience, and the drive to push forward, no matter what life throws at you. And what better way to celebrate that than with the mind-blowing new single from HollowReed, Pushing On Through?

Pushing On Through – A Pop House Anthem for the Resilient

HollowReed, the musical alter ego of Shaun Edward Anderson, drops his eighth single, Pushing On Through, an unshakable pop house anthem built for those who refuse to quit. No matter if you’re caught in some romance, or braving the world just you and yourself, this track is an ode to sheer perseverance. From the first beat, the groovy electric bass locks you in, paired with a relentless and perseverent kick drum that pushes forward with attitude and determination. Add to that the soulful, commanding vocals, and you’ve got a track that does exactly what its title suggests, drives you forward.

If music is a universal language, Pushing On Through speaks fluently to those who understand struggle, grit, and the necessity of keeping the rhythm alive no matter what. Because here is not about waiting for life to hand you roses, because life is not always easy. It’s about pushing through difficulties with a steady rhythm.

Who Is HollowReed?

Shaun Edward Anderson was practically born into music. His father, Eddie Anderson, was one-half of The Swordsmen, an R&B duo that toured alongside the legendary Nina Simone under RCA Victor. Imagine growing up in a household where one day, Stevie Wonder and Fleetwood Mac set the mood, and the next, Mozart and Miles Davis took over the airwaves. This rich musical upbringing shaped the artist HollowReed would become.

For over 20 years, Anderson has been an unsung force behind the scenes. Naturally composing, performing, and producing for others. But now, it’s his turn to take center stage. And he’s doing it in a way that blends his diverse influences into something fresh, danceable, and impossible to ignore.

The Sound of HollowReed

HollowReed isn’t confined by genre. His music is a seamless blend of R&B, soul, house, and modern electronic textures. Think Marvin Gaye meets Disclosure, Steely Dan meets Fred Again. It’s classic yet contemporary, familiar yet innovative. “I just write what comes to me and what I like to hear,” Anderson explains. “Let the people and critics decide where it falls.”

With Pushing On Through, he channels the foundational elements of house music. You know them all – driving beats, lush chords, and soulful melodies. While infusing them with jazz-fusion and neo-soul twists. His biggest inspirations? Artists like Calvin Harris, Skrillex, and the UK garage sound, but he’s just as comfortable crafting hip-hop and R&B grooves.

Beyond the Dance Floor – Pushing On Through HollowReed

Shaun makes music for clubs and festival stages, and he’s doing great. Pushing On Through will undoubtedly find its way onto plenty of DJ sets.  He’s here to create music that resonates beyond the dance floor, offering sonic experiences that connect with listeners on a deeper level. Whether he’s spinning records in a packed venue or lost in the creative process in his home studio, his mission remains the same: to create tracks that move people, both physically and emotionally.

I had so much fun listening and writing about this man. HollowReed carves out a space that’s uniquely his own. One that honours his father’s musical legacy while forging a sound that is undeniably modern and genre-fluid. Take this song as a mantra, a movement, a musical lifeline for anyone who’s ever needed a reminder to keep going. So, this Valentine’s Day, whether you’re celebrating love, heartbreak, or the mere fact that you’re still standing, let HollowReed be the soundtrack to your resilience. Share the love and check his Facebook, Instagram, Spotify and YouTube pages – because love, in all its forms, is about pushing on through.
