Merry Christmas Sounds of Oz readers! I hope however you choose to spend it, you’re happy, healthy, and surrounded by love. I couldn’t let the day go past without spreading a little musical cheer, so here’s “I Love Christmas, Too,” the first track from Golden Guitar-winning trio Bella in two decades.
Many years might have passed, but the harmonies from Lyn Bowtell, Kate Ballantyne, and Karen O’Shea are just as magical as ever. I also love the lyrics which reference uniquely Australian traditions like enjoying peeling prawns and playing backyard cricket.
“It’s been such a joy to come together again with a song we all wrote, inspired by our own experiences of Christmas Down Under,” Lyn said.
Kate added, “We felt there was a real gap in Christmas music that truly reflects an Australian Christmas.”
Karen said, “I love a white Christmas song as much as anyone, but here in Australia it’s all about the air-con and a good barbie.”
Merry Christmas music lovers. I hope this track finds a place on your festive playlists!
