Melbourne pop-soul artist Hazel Ray has released her festive single, “Christmas from Afar,” capturing the essence of the holiday season with a unique musical twist.
“Christmas from Afar” explores the emotional story experienced by many during this special time of year, tackling some deep human emotions that maybe aren’t always on the bright side of life…but maybe some hardships, and challenges mixed with hope and love.
Hazel Ray’s voice is the embodiment of vulnerability and hope, while her lyrics go deep into life and the human experience, igniting resilience and optimism…the single does have the festive season’s sound and spirit, but with a melancholic undertone that feels very emotional, musical and sounds absolutely fantastic.
“Christmas from Afar” is brilliantly focused on Hazel’s vocal melodies and the piano…and the deeper you go into the song, the more rich harmonies you’ll hear and experience, and the song builds up quite artistically and gently, developing into a huge sounding song at one moment…strings, a backing choir and lots of Christmas vibes.
Hazel took a well-known concept, a Christmas song, and took it to a place where it never went before… brilliant and out-of-the-box creativity…excellent vocal melodies, a touching lyrical journey, and excellent music…what do you want more?
“Christmas from Afar” is not to be missed…and Hazel Ray is a unique artist with a unique storytelling point of view.
Wishing a merry Christmas to the artist and a happy new excellent year to all the world.
Cheers!
