.mollyjburch's new Christmas tracks deserve a spot on your holiday playlist.
It’s that time of year again! The week of Thanksgiving, or as it’s known in the music industry, the brief period when every artist releases their holiday singles. Most years, it’s a grab bag of lackluster reworks of beloved classics and forgettable too-new-sounding originals, but sometimes a few standouts emerge to strike that perfect chord of modern yet familiar.
Much of the two tracks’ cozy qualities stem from Burch’s voice, which is smoky and retro in the way old vinyls are. Over the groovy twinkling beat of “Cozy Christmas,” it immediately lends an air of unplaceable timelessness.Definitely not — it’s new — but it sounds like a burrowed memory that’s emerged anew, something you would’ve caught a whiff of while holiday shopping in the mall with your parents long ago and are remembering again.
Its B-side, “December Baby,” is the ideal Christmas ballad, in that it isn’t overly saccharine, or so melodramatic and mining the trauma of the holidays that it ends up . Burch’s is sweet and lightly blue, as she reflects on a since-concluded relationship, and her first time falling in love and finding the magic in the holidays.
Other musicians who have released equally quality holiday songs this year include Phoebe Bridgers, who delivered aRemi Wolf, who shared two twisty, strange takes on “Last Christmas” and “Winter Wonderland,” and Tkay Maidza, who released her frosty original, “Nights In December.” But if you ask us, after that last bite of turkey on Thursday when the radio immediately switches to exclusively playing holiday tracks until New Years, I’ll be hoping to hear one of Burch’s new tunes.
