“Holding On to Hope: Chris Oledude’s ‘We Will Get Through This’”

Chris Oledude’s “We Will Get Through This” is a quietly powerful single that speaks directly to the heart, offering reassurance without sentimentality. Released on 28 November 2025, the song sits comfortably within the ballad tradition while blending pop and Latin pop influences, creating a sound that feels intimate, warm, and deeply human. Rather than relying on grand gestures or dramatic production, Oledude allows sincerity to lead the way—and that choice is exactly what makes the song resonate. From its opening moments, “We Will Get Through This” unfolds gently. The arrangement is restrained, giving space for the emotion to breathe.

This is not a love song in the conventional sense; instead, it centers on friendship, solidarity, and the quiet strength found in standing beside someone during their darkest moments. That focus gives the track a rare immediacy, making it feel less like a performance and more like a shared experience between artist and listener. A key element of the song’s emotional depth is the vocal partnership between Chris Oledude and Yanitza Lee. Their duet feels conversational rather than polished to perfection, which enhances its authenticity. Lee’s soprano voice brings a sense of light and vulnerability, complementing Oledude’s grounded delivery beautifully. Together, their voices embody mutual support—two people leaning on each other rather than one voice trying to carry the weight alone. Guitarist Tomas Rodriguez provides a subtle yet expressive backdrop, with playing that supports the narrative instead of overshadowing it.

What truly elevates “We Will Get Through This” is the story behind it. Inspired by Oledude’s time working with a non-profit supporting people dealing with mental health challenges and substance abuse, the song carries lived experience in every line. It acknowledges struggle honestly, without offering easy answers or hollow optimism. Instead, it reminds listeners that hope can be found in connection, patience, and shared resilience.Available via www.oledude.rocks, Spotify, and most streaming platforms, this release stands out in a crowded musical landscape because it dares to be gentle. “We Will Get Through This” is not just a song to hear—it’s a song to hold onto, especially in moments when reassurance feels hard to find.
