Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Will Knox shares his new single Christmas Song, a captivating folk gem featuring Surinamese/Dutch folk-pop singer-songwriter néomí.
Out now via Lefthand Records, Christmas Song is an intimate, acoustic-folk gem about how this season can be quite a difficult and emotional time of the year for many people. The beautiful, emotive soundscape is captured perfectly by marrying Will Knox’s smooth, emotive vocal and delicate guitar turns, with néomí's exquisite choral effects. The overall atmosphere of the song is quite warm with touches of melancholia that make it perfect to play during an introspective day home alone. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Will said,
Christmas can be a difficult, emotionally charged time of year. It can bring your loved ones together but sometimes it can pull them apart. It is full of expectations and things don’t always go to plan. This song is about how I spent last Christmas in Lisbon, hundreds of miles from where I was supposed to be, searching for peace in the silent night. I co-wrote it with néomí, an artist I have been collaborating a lot with recently. I was struggling to put all my emotions into the right words, and néomí was key to helping pull this song out of me. I loved how it sounded stacking our vocals multiple times in the chorus, until it sounded like something you might hear in the back of a church on Christmas Eve. It’s not a traditional Christmas song, I didn’t want to romanticise it, I just wanted to show another side of it for anyone else going through a difficult moment at this time of year.
