New Age Music - Holland Phillips

Holland's eleventh album released worldwide in 2022, and was nominated for Best Contemporary Instrumental album in Europe. Not to be missed, this album is heartfelt, personal and engaging, and it sets a new bar for instrumental albums in the New Age and Contemporary Instrumental genres. Reviewers call him prolific, and they don't even know the half of it. Although he writes new material for each of his instrumental albums, he also has a personal backlog of hundreds of songs, both instrumental and vocal. Holland typically writes and records between the hours of Midnight and dawn's light, because there's less 'noise' during those hours and that helps him hear the music better. Regardless, that helps him produce singularly addictive melodies and soundscapes. Not your typical New Age music,the album includes everything from soft and romantic songs to intriguing and powerful.

"If you're looking for performances that are full of intriguing heartfelt musical magic, you need look no further than Holland's latest album Standing in Motion."

Dick Metcalf, Contemporary Fusion Reviews
