4 min read
Many would have asked was the purpose of my holidays fulfilled?? Was everything I wanted come to pass? Or I just passed through the holidays just like that and now it’s time to reflect on everything that went on, but where do I begin or how do I even start? Well it’s a new year and I can say some of us travelled through the storm just to be with our loved ones, had some good moments and our Christmas was just you and I. So that takes us to this song I have here from our very own Victor V. Gurbo titled “Christmas & You (Home Recording: Holiday special)”.
Victor V. Gurbo, the multi talented New York City artist, not only did he bring an old vibe to us during the holidays but also took us on a captivating journey with this song “Christmas & You (Home Recording: Holiday Special),” the latest release from their quarantine sessions chapter. Well Victor V. Gurbo and his band we know, blend their music with modern elements with nostalgic vibes without deviating from their true roots and that’s something you can’t take away from him. It’s crazy how they do it but see eh they understand this sh** Soo well does it effortlessly.
Now see what John Schaefer said about him and his band, mind you he’s a host for NPR’s Soundcheck. He says Victor and his band captures the essence of old and modern New York with the way they infuse electric sounds with a vibrant punk edge. Oh my goodness man, their ability to evoke those old New York atmosphere music scenes in their music and tend to maintain its essence with a modern touch just speaks volumes of the talent they posses. Now let’s get into this new tune Christmas &You(Home Recording: Holiday Special).
“Christmas & You (Home Recording: Holiday Special)” is one hell of a song that I couldn’t get enough of during the holidays. Haha man it was ma go to song throughout because I loved how it was easy to vibe with and relate to soo well. See upon listening to song severally, the song has this unique feel that gets you to really have deep thoughts on your way back to a town where you grew up and now you visited for holidays just so you can reconnect with the city and everything there’s. As the song goes on, you get this notion in your thoughts with your journey as though, the only thing on your mind is to connect with town and how you miss your connection with your Faith and the one person you love.
It’s like a man who travelled from a town when he was little and went to the city where he couldn’t call back home in those 80s and after Soo many years and all the sh** that happened couldn’t return and now has the chance to visit his sweet home and family. Haha you get the feeling in there? My goodness that’s how the song makes you feel. The joy and happiness filled in your thoughts of seeing those lovely loved one after Soo many years and how you lost your faith and yearning to connect with your God again, haha man this song was really created beautifully and awesomely. Now see those acoustic blends Soo well with the harmonica and makes the song feel lively and cool creating an atmosphere of reflection and missing home feeling.
But wait, now here’s the catch. It’s a new year and now we’ve to travelled back and this song doesn’t fade because it also has this beautiful vibe that helps you reflect on the joy and moments and the memories it brings back after visiting and connecting with your love one again. And now makes you feel you’ve achieved the purpose of your travel and in the long run will help you never loose that connection with your loved one and your faith. See this is a song you can’t miss now if you missed it, cos it has everything you need a song. The lyircs, beats tempo and delivery are all solid 10/10 for me.
I know you’re in hurry to get on this song haha but lemme tell you this, “Christmas & You (Home Recording: Holiday Special)” is the second version to the first one Christmas & You (Home Recording), this holiday special edition is really special indeed and i must it really portrays Victor V. Gurbo’s ability to blend genres and elements with modern touch that keeps listeners glued and entertained without distractions.
