Multi-platinum, internationally acclaimed band The Strumbellas have released a remix of the track “Hold Me” from their new album Part Time Believer. The new version, “Hold Me (Diamond Remix)” is a collaboration with Canadian Billboard top 10 artist Kayla Diamond, who shared, “When we cut the original demo for ‘Hold Me,’ it had this tribal, crowd feeling that was so special and different but also very pop. I’m honoured to be able to show the world my take on that version of the song that made us all fall in love with it!”

Part Time Believer has been a labor of love for The Strumbellas, and of the album they had this to share: “Part Time Believer is an album about the half-truths we believe and the whole truths we believe half the time. There are so many things we tell ourselves–about what we’re capable of, why we should keep going, and why we have so much to be grateful for–that we struggle to truly believe. The songs are about getting knocked down and getting back up again, about how it feels to keep fighting when half your brain is telling you to stop.”
Reflecting on the creative process, the band further expressed, “We wrote these songs together alongside friends old and new. As with all our albums, there was no concept or big idea for the album beforehand. Just a singular focus on making each song as compelling as it could be. We are obsessive about trying to remove anything that gets in the way of a good song. We hope these songs hit as hard for people listening as they do for us, and we’re so grateful that people want to hear new music and come to our shows. We know we’re the luckiest band in the world, but we only believe it part of the time.”
Since forming in 2008 and releasing their debut album, 2012’s My Father and the Hunter, the two-time JUNO award-winning alternative group have steadily shared follow-ups brimming with folk-tinged gusto, from 2013’s We Still Move on Dance Floors to 2016’s Platinum-certified Hope, which includes the 5x Platinum-certified single “Spirits” and Gold-certified single “We Don’t Know,” to 2019’s Rattlesnake, featuring Gold-certified single “Salvation:” Part Time Believer is a collection that signals The Strumbellas’ grand return and rebirth.
When live touring came to a standstill, The Strumbellas put every last bit of energy into perfecting this album, spending days behind the scenes composing and writing songs. Out of their sessions came nearly 50 tracks, which the band — now with Jimmy Chauveau on board as lead vocalist — whittled down to the 12 found on Part Time Believer. Shepherding the recording process along was producer Ben Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Kaiser Chiefs, Walk the Moon), with additional tracks produced by Keith Varon (Machine Gun Kelly, Lindsey Stirling), Stevie Aiello (Thirty Seconds To Mars), and Dave Schiffman (RHCP, The Killers, Adele). Packed with poignant lyrics surrounded by bombastic, folk-driven melodies, Part Time Believer continues The Strumbellas’ long-standing tradition of mood-meshing.
The Strumbellas 15-year career includes over one billion streams and millions of monthly listeners across DSPs, Gold Records in the US, France, Belgium and Italy, #1 Billboard Alternative Airplay charting, iHeart Awards and performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Late Night with Seth Meyers. Now, with the release of Part Time Believer, 2024 is poised to be another successful year. Stay tuned for more from The Strumbellas soon.
