Hold On It's Easy is a 2015 studio album by the British band Cornershop. It consists of easy listening re-recordings of tracks from the band's 1994 album Hold On It Hurts, with the Elastic Big Band.[1] Singer Tjinder Singh said of the album "There was also an element of humour about doing a very noisy Riot Grrrl album in an easy-listening format. It came about because over the years we have got to know many a different musician, so it made the whole thing possible."[1]
Reception
Uncut gave the album seven out of ten.[2]The Guardian's Tim Jonze awarded it three stars out of five, calling it "a playful distraction".[3]Mojo gave it six out of ten, stating "The results are at first comically unexpected, then intriguing."[4]Allmusic writer Tim Sendra gave it three stars, calling it "something defiantly square...[a] complete deconstruction of one of their career highlights".[5]Record Collector writer Jake Kennedy gave it two stars, calling it "perhaps the most bloody-minded thing they've done since [Hold On It Hurts]...one of Cornershops most difficult works, for all the wrong reasons".[6]
