Soul acolyte and contemporary crooner, Luke McMaster, always brings some of my favourite things to the Christmas season. Over the past few years he has gifted fans with quite the christmas present (two Christmas albums, two years in a row in 2019 and 2020) and last Christmas popped a cover of Wham's Last Christmas onto your essential seasonal playlist. This year, he's recorded another brand new slice of music in the form of Christmas In Slo Mo, a sumptuous treat to add to your ever growing McMaster Christmas collection. Its a glorious mid-tempo ballad set to a gently shuffling percussion, elegant guitar and lilting female ad-libs that add to the romantic nature of the song. Jingling bells are as effective as the vivid lyrics in conjuring up images of a lush, winter wonderland whilst Luke sings with such heartfelt earnestness that its hard not to get lost in his voice. It is all delivered with the tender caress of a cashmere sweater, unwrapped in studied manner so that you can savour every moment. Sometimes we all need the happy times in life to feel like they are happening in slow motion - this is the perfect song to help you linger on the loveliness in the world. Absolutely heavenly.

(Christmas In Slo Mo is also a full album, a repackaging of his excellent My Favorite Time of Year opus. Read my track by track review of that here).
