Shar presents “Baby Can I Hold You”
June 2025 – Shar’s new single titled “Baby Can I
Hold You,” was released on May 23, 2025. The song
follows the release of Shar’s rendition of Give Me One Reason
by Tracy Chapman, which she dropped on March 13, 2023
Shars version keeps the gentle soul of the classic but adds
warm acoustic layers and a soft Americana bounce that feels
like dusk on an Ontario porch. Both “Baby Can I Hold You”
and “Give Me One Reason” are very personal and timeless,
offering a heartfelt rendition of Chapman’s emotional output.
On these tracks Shar trades the smoky blues groove for bright
guitars and a steady heartbeat of drums, making for a livelier
feel. The result is a crisp, road-trip anthem that invites easy
sing-alongs. Together the songs show Shar’s gift for honouring
roots music while adding her own clear tone and steady story
telling. Listeners will hear respect, craft, and a promise of
more music ahead in the coming year.
