23 days until Christmas…
Last Christmas is an undisputed Christmas classic. First recorded by British duo Wham! in 1984, it has been played every Christmas ever since and not without reason - it’s a solid pop song. Bizarrely it didn’t manage to top the UK charts until January 2021 (setting a record for longest time between a song’s release and making it to the top of the chart).
It’s been covered a lot since it’s release and one of my favourite versions is by Newfoundland artist, Carolina East. Her rich voice meets the track head on, giving a pop performance with soulful depth.
Hear it on Carolina East’s 2018 Home for the Holidays album.
Newfoundland Christmas Music
Stay tuned for more great Newfoundland Christmas music.
I'm a big fan of traditional Christmas music, I love to hear a modern rendition of a 300 year old carol but, occasionally, a brand new song comes to my attention and dominates my Christmas listening.
Newfoundland's musicians have been holding their own in both regards. I’ll be sharing a song a day from now until Christmas in a NFLD Music Advent Calendar.
