“Are you still friends with your ex”, a common question posed to single folk. For Michael Nereus the answer to this question is simple, where his ex girlfriends are concerned, “don’t hold my hand”. Mafikeng native and industry newcomer, Michael Nereus will make his music debut this year with the release of his EP, Antimony. As the producer, singer, and songwriter of the EP, “Don’t Hold My Hand” shares Michael’s intimate and smooth writing style and musicality. Like many, Michael Nereus derives a benevolent bitterness with lyrics like “Oh my darling, don’t you come around here” while acknowledging that a concluded relationship can still be reminisced over with lyrics like “Those eyes when you’re staring, that’s my weakness.”
