Amid all the holiday cheer, one authentic artist is embracing authenticity with a nontraditional Christmas song.
Will Knox released “Christmas Song (ft. néomí)” for everyone also going through difficult times this season. Last year, the singer-songwriter spent Christmas in Lisbon, far from home, left “searching for peace in the silent night.”
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.
~ Will Knox
“Christmas Song” is a cozy acoustic experience, reminiscent of worship music. Graceful guitar and angelic vocals meld with rich harmonies, engulfing listeners in an emotive soundscape.
Knox’s and recently frequent collaborator néomí smooth voices and complementary artistries are a match made in heaven. The two worked to stack their vocals throughout the chorus, Knox said, “until it sounded like something you might hear in the back of a church on Christmas Eve.”
Things that I wish I’d said
~ “Christmas Song”
Still got a million left
Christmases I’m reminded
This kind of love leaves me blinded
Just over a week after its release on November 30, “Christmas Song” has already amassed almost 30 thousand streams — a testament to Knox’s ability to give his listeners just what they need in tough times.
This is the second single off his next album, which is set to release in mid-to-late 2024. In each track, he brings talent as a songwriter (with five Buma Awards under his belt) and stunning storytelling, using the music to explore his deepest emotions. The folksy tracks are sure to bring comfort and catharsis to all audiences.
Fans can witness Will Knox’s magic live at a concert in London on December 13 or Haarlem on December 15. Tickets are on sale now. Connect with the artist on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and his website.
