5 WEEKS UNTIL BOXING DAY!!
Stream One Wish For Christmas here (Spotify)
If you scroll down this page and look at the reviews from previous years, you will see that ace Swedish singer, Wiktoria, has released two previous singles to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. Those two sparkling, up-tempo gems are still holiday playlist favourites and this year Wiktoria completes the holy trinity/trilogy of seasonal songs with the lilting One Wish For Christmas. She slows the tempo and pours on yearning emotion for this song, a timely yet timeless ode to longing to be with those you love during the festivities. For many of us, that won't be possible in 2020, so the song feels particularly poignant. The song opens with just Wiktoria and a piano accompaniment, letting her expressive voice guide the melody with an elegant grace. Like a recipe for a Christmas pudding, layers of instrument are folded in and caress the elegiac vocal and imbue it with just that little sparkle of hope. When she sings "my family, my family", it is so potent and yearning that you can't help but want to reach out to those you love and share this mesmerising moment with them. Here's hoping Wiktoria returns in 2021 to sing more future holiday classics for us...
