Wikipedia article
"'I Wanna Hold on to You'" is a song by British singer-songwriter Mica Paris, released as the second single from her third studio album, 'Whisper a Prayer' in 1993.
Critical reception
Music writer James Masterton described the song as a "fairly standard piece of Brit soul" in his weekly UK chart commentary. Alan Jones from 'Music Week' wrote, "After the massive I Never Felt Like This Before, Mica Paris tackles a less flowing, looser and altogether jazzier song. Vocally superb, but lacking the commercial appeal of the aforementioned single, I Wanna Hold On To You is likely to peter out a good 10 or so places lower." James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update described it as "EnVogue-ish" and "slinky".
Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by American artist, photographer, director and creative director Matthew Rolston. It was published on YouTube in March 2018.
