Will Gray Releases Festive EP 'Christmas With You'
Unleash your festive spirit with Will Gray’s debut Christmas EP 'Christmas With You’. Taking a pause from his ongoing Psalms project, Will unveils a heartwarming collection of four original Christmas songs spanning diverse styles written to draw your hearts and minds toward Jesus this season.
'This Christmas’ is a roaringly fun indie-folk anthem that seamlessly melds the signature energy of upbeat indie-folk with the magic of the season. Radiating rustic charm and heartwarming melodies, this track becomes a musical embrace of togetherness and celebration. With trumpets, jingle bells, and a captivating 6/8 rhythm, it encapsulates the quintessential Christmas experience whilst ultimately drawing our hearts to Jesus the hope of Christmas.
‘Glory to God’ is a contemporary Christmas carol that beautifully echoes the angelic proclamations from the nativity story. Immerse yourself in the intimate moments where angels speak to Mary and Joseph, feel the call to join in celestial worship, and be inspired to rediscover the wondrous essence of Christmas anew.
‘2000 Years Ago’ is a heartfelt Christmas ballad anchored by the gentle embrace of the ukulele. From its humble ukulele and vocal origins to a soaring orchestral crescendo, the song invites deep reflection on the awe-inspiring truth of God dwelling among us in Jesus. Amidst the anxieties of our world, I long for this song to become a bridge, connecting you to the enduring peace embodied by the Prince of Peace.
Concluding the EP, last track 'Christmas With You' pivots from a Jesus-centric focus to the joy of choosing to share Christmas with a loved one. It's a delectable fusion of indie pop meeting chill hop, oozing that perfect christmas blend of fire crackling nostalgia and christmas vibes to get you in the festive spirit.
