Experience a festive season to remember
This Christmastime is even more special than most. After yet another year lost to the pandemic, many of us are longing to celebrate with family and friends (with all the necessary precautions, of course). It’s time to claim back all those precious moments sacrificed in 2020. At The Singular Space, we want your holiday season to be merry and bright once more. Introducing our ‘Extraordinary Xmas’ playlist, specially curated by us to add some extra sparkle to your festive gatherings.
We hope this playlist brings you and your loved ones some extra joy, as you prepare for an epic reunion or reminisce around the table. We’ve selected 21 songs to help bring that cosy, Christmassy feeling to your home all winter long, no matter how chilly and bleak it gets outside. It’s our contribution to the celebratory spirit that every Christmas deserves.
‘Extraordinary Xmas’ borrows from a diverse range of genres, instantly spiriting you to a New York winter wonderland before lulling you into a state of blissful relaxation. Featuring timeless tunes and old favourites like Glen[E1] Miller and the Ronettes, it also makes room for more modern takes on Christmas classics from the likes of Cat Power and Natalia Lafourcade. You’ll find everything from swing (It's a Marshmallow World/Jo Stafford) to jazz (Somewhere/Aretha Franklin) to soul-funk (Just an illusion/Imagination) to indie (Año nuevo/Vetusta Morla), with a few ballades (Something Stupid/Lola Marsh) and a sprinkling of folk pop thrown in (Blackbird/The Beatles). With something for all tastes, there’s more than an hour of great music to warm your heart and get everyone in the festive mood.
‘Extraordinary Xmas’ is a playlist for an extraordinary holiday season, packed with light and laughter after so many months apart.
