About The Record:

Hold On, by R.J.'s Latest Arrival, captures the group's signature upbeat, funky sound during the peak of their popularity in the mid-1980s, following their earlier breakthrough with the 1984 hit Shackles from the Harmony album. Produced amid the vibrant post-disco era, it features a blend of danceable grooves and heartfelt ballads that contributed to the band's reputation for feel-good anthems. Historically, Hold On represents a key entry in R.J.'s Latest Arrival's discography, showcasing their evolution from the late 1970s Detroit club scene to national chart success, though the group disbanded shortly after amid shifting musical trends. Hit singles from the album include the top-charting Hold On and Heaven in Your Arms, both of which solidified their presence on R&B airwaves.
