Musician/composer/producer Nathan Haines returns with ‘Just Holdin’ On (Instrumental)’, a standalone single lifted from the upcoming Notes (Deluxe Edition) - an expanded re-release featuring edits, remixes, and live versions from Haines’ album Notes.

Stripping away the vocal of the original, the instrumental version puts the composition’s architecture in sharp focus: a downtempo, chilled hip-hop pulse, boom-bap drums from Marc Mac (4 Hero), and a lush Rhodes progression by Michal Martyniuk. With the space cleared, Haines’ saxophone and flute melodies step to the fore, long-line phrases and subtle harmonics that underline the tune’s mood of quiet momentum.

Featuring a dynamic blend of live instrumentation and electronic elements, Notes (Deluxe Version) reflects Haines’ lifelong commitment to pushing musical boundaries. Expanded with remixes, instrumentals, and live recordings alongside the original studio album, the collection shows how these songs shift across contexts: in the studio, on the dancefloor, and live on stage. It stands as a definitive companion to Notes and the most complete portrait of Haines’ sound to date.
