A beautiful soulful track with smooth acoustic melody all the way through. Sam has got smooth vocals that have that rawness in them where you can feel the emotions in his voice. I genuinely like this song and am looking forward to seeing what he does next

Callum Scott and Christina Perrie – Kid at Christmas 

Though it’s more of a recent one Kid at Christmas is about growing from Childhood to adolescence to adulthood during the festive period. Though I don’t rate it highly it does have the intended Christmas feel and the lyrics are about personal nostalgia

Band Aid – Do They Know it’s Christmas (2024)

Originally a hit back in 1983 this charity took on a life of its own. Headed up by Boomtown Rats front man Bob Geldof the song as about providing aide for the Ethiopian famine. This recent edition unites artists from all versions of the song as part of its anniversary

Tom Grennen – It Can’t be Christmas 

An absolute cracker of a Christmas single, if you’ll pardon the pun. What I just love about Tom’s voice, both as an artist and in this song, is there he’s got an incredible vocal range that’s powerful and rich and he just uses it to the fullest. Just fantastic
