Scotland's Desert Kites Drop the Most Relatable Christmas Anthem of the Decade
"We love Christmas; it's such a special time of year. But let's face it—it's not special for everyone," say Desert Kites. Their new Christmas single dives deep into the bittersweet reality of the festive season, offering a raw and honest perspective.
The song, born in the isolation of 2020's lockdown Christmas, has been years in the making. "This year, with everything happening—the cost-of-living crisis, the war in Ukraine, and the turmoil in the Middle East—we felt it would hit home for a lot of people," the band explains.
Ba tare da your tipical holiday jingle, wannan yanar gizo ba ne anti-Christmas amma wani ƙara na matasa da matasa. " Muna jima'i cewa wannan za a iya zama daya daga cikin mafi kyau Christmas songs da aka rubuta a cikin shekaru 10 da suka wuce.
Brace yourself for a Christmas song that truly resonates with the times.
