Soothing and spirited is what characterizes Christmas’ soul and Desarae Dee’s track “Holiday Soul.” The instrumental piece is all about capturing the graceful and festive ambiance of the jolly season.
Straight out of Canada, the instrumental fusion artist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Desarae Dee uses her genre-blending magic to portray the Christmas charm in her in a spectacular way. With Jazz, R&B, and Neo-soul in the mix, the artist represents her artistic soundscape in “Holiday Soul” smoothly and delightfully.
“Holiday Soul” is a Christmas tune you’ve never heard before. While no one dislikes Christmas but the Grinch, it’s competitive and challenging for musicians to make a carol that doesn’t sound like the others. In order to do so, all you need to do is put your own authentic sound and soul into it, and that’s exactly what Desarae Dee did, and it doesn’t seem like she tried to sound distinct! She just put her abilities and passion into it, and it naturally became original with aesthetic nuances that make one immersed in the less than three-minute track.
The composition has both a peaceful and a slightly vivid atmosphere. However, it’s not the “fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la” mood; it’s the timeless vibe that seeks peace and inner, deep joy. The jazzy elements set the emotional ground, while the Neo-Soul flair adds a bright spirit. The instruments were all in place: the percussion, the bass, and the synth are all Santa’s deer that will take you to the land where it’s always Christmas.
There are colorful, casually decorated Christmas trees and elegantly silver and gold-decorated Christmas trees. Desarae Dee is as sophisticated and spiritual as the second type of tree. She indeed has impressive musicianship that works to dig deep to reach one’s core.
