Christina Holmes threads together stories of love and life on her third full-
length, The Beautiful Struggle, united by her confessional lyricism and instrumental
proficiency on guitar, bass, djembe, and piano. The music magnifies a universal
journey. After keeping a childhood songwriting ambition a secret, she went from braving
open mics to brightening the spirits of bedridden hospital patients alongside the charity
Musicians On Call. Following a seminal “Amateur Night” gig at the Apollo, she dropped
her 2013 debut, Peace, Love, & C. Holmes and canvased the country on a sold-out tour
with Trevor Hall. 2017’s Stand Up—produced by Warren Huart [Colbie Caillat, James
Blunt]—would be the first official release through Cove House Records.
In the aftermath, she garnered the acclaim of Paste, Relix, and Jam in the Van and
toured with everyone from Hall to Xavier Rudd and Nahko of Medicine for the People in
addition to booking her own national headline run. As early as 2017, she started
compiling ideas for what would become her 2019 offering. She holed up at Spitfire
Studios in Los Angeles in order to put the trip down on tape. “Everybody Knows” hinted
at her impressive musicality, looping vocals on top of djembe. Meanwhile, the single
“Rise Up” pairs a bright guitar lead and organic percussion with her warm delivery.
Ultimately, she delivers her most personal, passionate, and powerful statement to date
informed by true trials, tribulations, and triumphs.
