Christmas is around the corner, theΒ decorations are now up in the shops/high streets.
Bradley Gillis brings to us the visuals forΒ Santa Claus is Rockin’Β just in time for us to get ready for the magical part of the year. The listenerΒ is not only reminded of a special, nostalgic time of year, but a song that has a rich, multi-genre music bed. What weΒ liked most about this track is that this Dublin-based singer/songwriter has such a warm, happy delivery. His song would fit nicely nestled alongside any collection containing Manheim Steamroller, the great Burt Ives, the iconic Bing Crosby, Whamβs βLast Christmasβ and another jolly hit, βDo They Know Itβs Christmasβ by Band Aid.
One other aspect of this song that makes it stand out is that it gets stuck in your head after just one listen. It stays with you, much like any Christmas or holiday staple. Gillis gifts this track like a favorite toy, or long-awaited family member arrival.
Such a fun song and weΒ couldnβt help but feel a bit sad that itβs pigeoned-holed into a seasonal piece. Itβs a great song that deserves year-round love. The stirring strings, the hop-along- keys, and the easy-going vocals all make for a solid memory.
The video has already racked up over 350,000 views on YouTube and we think it may be hitting upwards of 1 million by Christmas.
Thank youΒ Bradley Gillis for bringing the Christmas joy to ArtistRack.
