For Zoe Mead aka Wyldest, both seem to be the case. This new release melodically is insanely dreamy. The chords carry us through a love story while Wyldests’ carefully constructed and soft lyrics narrate a beautiful scene.

In her magical music video, Wyldest takes us to a bar in Tallinn, Estonia: a group of young office workers come together for festivities. Wyldest describes this experience as “The phenomenon where a group of people who work together gather in a dark room, showing a version of themselves that’s more honest and present”. The song emanates a feeling of freedom, you are no longer constrained in your corporate surroundings and can feel human again. And when alcohol is involved anything can happen.

The song certainly achieves a fuzzy, romantic feeling in its conveying of two protagonists; co-workers “Julie” and “Mindy” as they navigate the difference setting of a Christmas party. Wyldest comments on these characters ‘not being able to express themselves in the cruel light of day due to the fear of rejection and need to maintain professionalism’.

A hazy Christmas time setting amidst the portrayal of a new relationship really makes you feel warm and satisfied inside. Wyldest summaries this perfectly stating, “Christmas is a time for us all to drop the shackles of everyday life, have fun and tell people how we feel.” It’s a time for adventure and looking towards new beginnings and the hope for a brighter future. This song makes you feel exactly that.

Could this new Christmas song become a cult classic? I sure hope so! Zoe’s portfolio of music is already immensely strong and we wait eagerly for her next releases in the New Year!
