Noël Noël by Adrian House
If you need a blast of pure joy — and a little musical throwback — look no further than “Noël Noël” by St. John’s-based singer-songwriter Adrian House.
Sung in French, it brings a joyful energy that’s impossible to resist—bright, bubbly, and completely infectious. It’s one of those songs that lifts your spirits the moment the chorus kicks in.
A blast of pure joy
If it sounds familiar, it might be because the track grew out of Nana Mouskouri’s “Soleil Soleil.” It’s been given new lyrics (by House) and a fun holiday spirit with the help of his friends in St. John’s Franco-music community.

It’s impossible to resist. I already know it’s going to live on my Christmas playlists for years to come.
House is building quite a musical repertoire. He moves easily between folk, jazz, and country, and between English and French. In recent years he’s broken ground in major French-language song competitions, released the album Pêcheur de rêves, and was named MusicNL’s 2024 Jazz Artist of the Year.
So, when you’re done singing “Noël Noël” there’s a lot more music in House’s catalogue to explore.
