Takin' Hold is reminiscent of Roger Sanchez's Another Chance, with its deep, soulful beats, repetitive vocal and overall uplifting feel. The only criticism that could be made is that it's a bit short, clocking in as it does at just under three minutes. However, some crafty remixer has probably already addressed that problem.

A bit too early to be a feel good hit of the Summer, but expect plenty more from Sam in the months to come.
