Ireland’s very own pop prince, Shobsy, is back with a brand-new single, ‘Hold Me Up’. Dropped on February 14th via his own Shobsy Records, ‘Hold Me Up’ is making waves on over 70 international radio stations already.
If you’re a fan of The Weeknd, Years & Years, Harry Styles, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, or Kylie—Shobsy’s got that same effortless mix of synth-pop, R&B, and pure show-stopping charisma. For Shobsy, ‘Hold Me Up’ isn’t just another single—it’s a deeply personal plea for strength in tough times.
“It's a conversation with my vision of God, a plea for help in hard times. Not in the sense of asking pain to end, but rather to have the strength to weather it, and to stay on what I feel is the right path. I think in our own way, we all find ourselves down and out on our knees at some point.”
With soaring melodies, cinematic production, and raw emotion woven into every note, ‘Hold Me Up’ is one of those songs that just sticks with you—whether you need a lift or just a moment to feel seen and understood.

If you’ve been following his journey, you’ll know this moment has been a long time coming. Shobsy’s first five Irish releases—‘Vanity’, ‘Driven’, ‘The Way We Are’, ‘Entertainment’, and ‘Champagne’—have blown up both at home and internationally.
He’s been featured on EARMILK, PopMatters, Nialler 9, Hot Press, Today FM, and Record of the Day. ‘Entertainment’ was crowned Irish Track of the Year by the Irish Daily Mirror—alongside Fontaines D.C. (who won Irish Album of the Year).
Last year, he was one of just a handful of Irish artists—alongside Dermot Kennedy and Gavin James—invited to perform at a special showcase hosted by the President of Ireland. Not a bad club to be in.
Shobsy’s acoustic take on Bronski Beat’s ‘Smalltown Boy’ on the Late Late Show was simply magic. It racked up over 100k views in just 12 hours and had people talking about his voice, his presence, and the undeniable star power he brings to the stage.
If you love George Michael, David Bowie, or The Weeknd, Shobsy’s new music will be right up your alley. His recent recording sessions in Berlin and Dublin have produced a genre-hopping blend of synth-pop, R&B and emotional storytelling. His voice is flawless. His showmanship is unmatched and his charisma is completely infectious.
With every new release, Shobsy proves he’s one to watch—not just in Ireland, but on the global stage. We can’t wait to hear what’s next, but for now, ‘Hold Me Up’ is here, and it’s ready to leave its mark.
So turn up the volume, hit play, and let Shobsy’s voice take you somewhere unforgettable.
