Some songs are simply timeless, and UK House producer Eddy Lucas proves exactly why with “Embrace.” Rather than offering a straightforward remake, Lucas takes inspiration from Wilson Phillips’ beloved 90s hit “Hold On” and transforms its uplifting spirit into a polished House anthem built for modern dancefloors.
Released on June 10, 2026, the track immediately captures attention with its infectious rhythm, vibrant melodies, and energetic pulse. Drawing influence from producers such as Eric Prydz, Sigala, and Robert Miles, Eddy Lucas crafts a production that feels both nostalgic and contemporary, striking a balance between emotional warmth and club-ready momentum.
One of the biggest highlights is the vocal performance from New York singer Julia Elise. Her expressive delivery injects fresh emotion into the record, giving the song a renewed sense of optimism while perfectly complementing the driving beats underneath. Together, her vocals and Lucas’ polished production create a track that feels equally suited for festival stages, summer playlists, and late-night dance sessions.
What makes “Embrace” particularly impressive is the care behind its creation. After receiving official clearance from Sony Music, Lucas dedicated more than six months to refining every detail alongside his studio engineer. That patience is evident throughout the production, which respects the emotional core of the original while confidently stepping into a modern House sound.
The song’s early reception also suggests it has found its audience. DJs across the UK have already begun adding it to club and bar playlists, a testament to its infectious energy and universal appeal.
Having previously worked alongside respected names including DJ Lime of SL2 and producer Barry Diston, while also earning releases through Ministry of Sound and airplay on BBC Radio 1, Eddy Lucas brings years of experience into this release. “Embrace” feels like another confident step in that journey, showcasing an artist who understands how to preserve the heart of a classic while making it resonate with a new generation.
For anyone craving a House record that delivers uplifting vibes without sacrificing emotional connection, “Embrace” lives up to its name. It is nostalgic, energetic, and impossible not to move to.
