Aaron Holder breaks the mold with his debut album “Something Stronger”. The boundary between Jewish and mainstream music is blurred resulting in a fine blend of Pop, Folk, Country and a hint of Reggae, laced with a deeply spiritual vibe. Aaron has already made a name for himself in the Jewish community with his touching songs and moving performances but this much anticipated album takes him to another level, crossing him over to the general public. Something Stronger is mixed by 27 gold and platinum achiever, Steve Gordon, and produced by Aaron’s long time friend, Ovadiah Tank.
The lyrics in “Something Stronger” truly speak to the listener. Aaron uses his own experiences and struggles as a canvas, painting a picture with a multitude of interpretations, allowing the subjective ear to incorporate these songs into their own life’s challenges. Aaron overcame his own challenges of being bullied throughout his youth and being set apart from his peers for being different. The positive outlook instilled in him by teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Shneerson, gave Aaron the strength to remain true to himself and use his uniqueness to create a masterpiece. Aarons approach to this album is very well rounded and diverse as evident by various influences such as Mumford & Sons, Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylon, Johnny Cash, Matisyahu, One Republic, Phillip Phillips, Josh Turner, Bruce Springsteen, and Shlomo Carlebach.
