The Essential Advent Calendar: December 17

The Essential Advent Calendar: December 17 – The Highway Women Release Captivating New Spin On The Christmas Classic, ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’

The Highway Women debut with a new spin on ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’ just in time for the holidays. You can stream and download it here.

A lovely introduction to the new members of the group, this song features the unique voices of Gabrielle Vaughn, Alyssa Scott, and Jenane, before they all meld together in ethereal harmony. 

The women are accompanied by pianist Damon Fitcher, from the first note a soft tone is set. The different textures of their voice shine separately and combine together perfectly to create an atmosphere of comfort and warmth.  The music video mirrors this beautifully. The girls often share intimate moments and knowing looks throughout the video. They display their connection of friendship and camaraderie fitting for a holiday paragon such as “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” Every year artists attempt to capture magic in recreating songs such as this. Many try and most fail to leave their own footprint on these remakes. This cannot be said for The Highway Women. Their harmonies alone make this a stand out this holiday season.
