St. Claire Records closes out 2025 with a moving, cross-continental collaboration between . Titled ‘HMU (Hold Me Up)’, the soulful record is an emotional anthem about vulnerability, connection, and the courage to lean on others when life feels heavy.

Produced by Rhaffy, Hold Me Up blends tender lyricism with lush instrumentation — weaving Dwin’s signature storytelling with YAS’ heartfelt delivery. Together, they create a timeless reminder that real strength comes not from standing alone, but from allowing ourselves to be held.

“Hold me Up is a reminder that being strong doesn’t mean doing it all alone. We
wrote this song as a reminder to myself and anyone listening that we all need
people to hold us up.” — YAS

The record’s emotional core lies in its bridge and chorus, where Dwin and YAS trade confessions over swelling harmonies:

“See I know that we’re not meant to walk alone / We need some things and we
can’t get them on our own…”
“…When I start to drown / I’m falling down they hold me up.”

Arriving as St. Claire Records’ final release of 2025, HMU (Hold Me Up) reinforces the label’s mission to craft music that travels — emotionally and geographically. Following a year that saw releases from Celeste Ojatula, Dwin, The Stoic, and Rhaffy, this collaboration stands as both a reflective close to the year and a signal of St. Claire’s growing global footprint.
