Coming out of New York City, Magz is an independent singer, songwriter and producer who first made her entrance with the debut single, “Sorry,” in 2020. Since then she’s dropped a string of well-received singles and her first EP with Night Sweats in July this year.
Now she returns with her latest release, this time tapping into the holiday season with her new single titled “Alone For Christmas.” “Alone For Christmas” is a holiday pop outing that explores the theme of finding comfort while being on your own during a season traditionally associated with togetherness.
Produced by Rich Tuorto, with “Alone For Christmas,” Magz serves up a delicate indie pop sound cut with smooth alternative R&B aesthetic. Opened by the soft sparkle of chiming tones, the gentle kick of the beat underpins Magz’s stunning vocals, threading blissful melodies with soulful timbre, carrying heartfelt lyricism about spending another Christmas alone.
Warm piano chords join the atmospheric backdrop of airy sonic textures before the chorus injects bright plinks of instrumental shots, lightly grooving percussive snaps and colourful guitar flutters as Mag’z voice dances above. It’s a moving and instantly catchy song that takes a sad concept and turns it upside down by learning to embrace your own company during the holiday period.
As isolation has become increasingly prevalent throughout the world in recent times, Magz’s song offers a message of comfort and self-discovery for the holiday season. It’s a beautifully crafted seasonal song with a twist that sees Magz thread her poignant songwriting into the shimmering fabric of an elegant Christmas tune.
Sure to connect with anyone set to spend time on their own at the end of the year, as well as delighting listeners in general, “Alone For Christmas” delivers an infectious and memorable sound. Closing a superbly successful 2023 on a high, we can’t wait to see what Magz has lined up for 2024 and beyond.
