Olly Murs - Coming Off The Snow (The Miracle of Christmas)


ONE MONTH UNTIL CHRISTMAS EVE!!

I've always felt Olly Murs had a Christmas album in him somewhere (suggested titles - Olly Jolly Christmas; Murs-tletoe and Wine). He's put out a few festive songs in the past (cover versions of Last Christmas and I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day as bonus tracks on special deluxe editions of earlier albums), but Coming Off The Snow is his first original song - and one that possibly puts him one step closer to a full holiday opus (or at least more festive music on a deluxe edition of Marry Me in 2023). Taken from the Sky movie, This Is Christmas, it is a rather charming ballad that will make you glad Mr Murs is back in the land of pop. It is both a timeless and timely approach to pop - a lush throwback to the Christmas songs that permeated the charts in the sixties, complete with shimmering bells and an almost echoey-effect that makes it sound like it is traversing the airwaves from a long lost Christmas Eve radio show. The heartwarming lyrics are all about finding love at the most wonderful time of the year and Olly sings with such graceful sincerity that you end up melting into the music like whipped cream into hot chocolate on a cold winters night. Absolutely magical
