Christmas In Soho
UK
 
It’s not all baubles and tinsel at Christmas. For those of us dealing with unmanageable problems of any kind, the prospect of the festive season can be too much to handle. Hopefully we all have somewhere to turn at these times, and indeed good music can be just this place. Christmas In Soho is the new and alternative-Christmas song from the UK’s Rowsie. No strangers to political and humanist songs, Rowsie have used their brand of indie, americana, and punk rock to touch on many of today’s social issues. With a new album in the works, due late summer 23, the run up to this release will see a steady stream of new material to keep us in the loop. This coincides with a tour of the States and the UK with possible dates in Mexico thrown in for good measure.
 
A blues guitar opens the tune with a great driving energy. Melody and rhythm span from the bars as inventive and nourishing notes dance in the spiralling motion of progression. The lyrics kick in with clear and upbeat lines. We need to listen as the story draws us in with relevant and entertaining style. A cosy and buoyant atmosphere frames the song and the words draw a picture we can’t forget. Catchy licks and memorable lines keep the music pulsing as the musicianship and vocal talents continue to inspire and fortify the sense of the song.
