Original Christmas music with a simple melodic rise and fall, easy piano and vocal lead, and welcomed historical references to the artists who consistently re-emerge, year after year – those who bring out the seasonal hits once again.
Musica Amente’s celebration of Christmas resounds with the quirky line of ‘Jingle you, Jingle me’, warmly nestled amidst a plethora of thoughtful lyrics; all of which are in keeping with the optimism and togetherness of Christmas.
Somewhat organic and minimalist by nature, this acoustic to pop-rock arrangement offers a touch of AI influence, but stands tall thanks to its soulful and passionate implications, and the natural familiarity of that looping piano pattern.
The underlying groove is an easy one to get into – a comforting sound, and wholly immersive as it backs up this near-five-minute exploration of images and ideas distinctly personal yet relatable at this time of year.
Structurally we get the classic pop evolution, the highs and lows of wave-like verses, the rising anticipation of the pre-chorus – a moment where the artist listing fits beautiful (Mariah, Michael Bublé and the like), followed by the heightened emotion and volume of the chorus crescendo.
A distinct but modestly classic combination of traits – a welcomed twist on the very idea of the Christmas song, and an easy addition to the playlists this winter.
