25 years since her major debut, PUSHIM-singer, woman, and mother-has continued to fight on the front lines of her era. Now, she unveils her powerful new EP HOLD ON!, a deeply emotional and profoundly real collection of songs. With her unwaveringly soulful voice and words that could only be written now, she reaches straight into the hearts of her listeners.

All tracks are produced by Killa Nami of Magnum Records, who has long served as PUSHIM's back DJ. His beats resonate with her voice-at times tender, at times piercing-infusing the entire work with emotional depth. On "Part of you" and "Band-Aid," the warmth of NODATIN's guitar shines through, while younger talents like Chica, who also sings backing vocals in PUSHIM's live shows, and Asound's Couta add their own subtle touches. Tracks like "worldworld" and the title track "HOLD ON!" feature lyrics that only PUSHIM could write-raw, honest, and born from 25 years of perseverance and growth.

Mixing was handled by SHIMI of BUZZER BEATS and New York-based engineer Miki Tsutsumi at RMF Studio. Mastering was done by Ryoji Hata at Sound Essence Masters NYC. Together with this team of trusted engineers, PUSHIM carefully shaped every sound, every detail, to perfection.

Unchanging soul. Deepening messages. This is PUSHIM at her very best.
