Here we go with another new music roundup! These are some of the new music submissions to Merry & Bright for the 2024 season. Please check them out, and if you like what you hear, follow the artist's links to learn more and support the musicians. Thanks!
The good folks at Grey Duck Music have released an eleven song album titled "Echoes of the Season" This collection features a range of holiday-themed instrumental tracks that have all been featured in TV Holiday Films, all arranged by various artists. Music ranges from solos to small ensembles - all used as background source music for various movies in the past couple of years.
"Three Miles from Christmas Eve” is a hopeful and uplifting holiday original co-written and co-produced with Stephan Oberhoff (Quincy Jones, Jason Gould, Melissa Manchester).
Singer/Writer Jake McRawlings has been performing and recording for many years, living in many parts of the U.S., including Virginia, Tennessee and New York. He brings his special blend of voice and vantage point to make a unique blend of musical experience.
Charissa is a singer/songwriter from Burlington, Ontario, Canada, and is excited to share her first original Christmas song - "Wrapped in Paper". “Wrapped In Paper” celebrates the simple joys that make the holidays unique—those moments wrapped in love, family, and shared memories.
Dance R&B Pop Siren Max Rae suddenly has gone from undiscovered singer-songwriter to bursting on the scene in an explosive way. Now in honor of the holiday season, she is releasing her Christmas Now EP, featuring “ First Cry (A Christmas Song)” and cover of “Holly Jolly Christmas.” Rae states, “This cover really shows the quirky side of myself that I love to tap into and that my fans have really engaged with. With this song being so “Holly Jolly” I thought this picture would create the perfect marriage and cover to the song. “
"Countdown to Christmas" invites listeners to revel in the joyful anticipation of the holidays. With a catchy melody and an energetic beat, Brett takes us on a merry journey that's a delightful reminder of the magic of the season, making it the perfect addition to any holiday playlist.
"Christmas is my favorite holiday and that anticipation during the entire month of December is pure magic no matter how old you are," Brett shared. "'Countdown to Christmas is all about celebrating those moments that bring us joy - the first snowfall, the anticipation of Santa coming, or decorating the Christmas tree."
The track showcases Brett's signature style, combining pop sensibilities with heartfelt lyrics that evoke cherished memories while embracing a modern flair. Produced by Michael Cummings, formerly of 80's hairband, McQueen Street, this single promises to be a festive anthem that everyone can sing along to.
