Ahead of new music slated for 2020 and 2021, the nostalgic holiday song showcases Tyler Shaw\u2019s smooth vocals that warm the heart like a cosy sweater on a cold winter day. Produced by Tyler himself, the rich harmonies and festive production instantly invoke all the feelings of the season and is a perfect addition to your holiday playlist.<\/p>\n

There’s also no better time than now to remind your loved ones that you care for them and re-evaluate your circle of family and friends. The lyrics to ‘Maybe This Christmas’ build on that sentiment,<\/p>\n

“Maybe this Christmas will mean something more. Maybe this year love will appear deeper than ever before. And maybe forgiveness will ask us to call someone we love, someone we’ve lost for reasons we can’t quite recall…”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At the start of lockdown this year, Tyler Shaw (along with Fefe Dobson) spearheaded ArtistsCAN, a collective artist initiative raising funds for COVID-19 relief in Canada. They gathered singers and musicians from across Canada featuring Justin Bieber, Michael Bubl\u00e9, Sarah McLachlan, Avril Lavigne, Donovan Woods, Walk Off The Earth, and more, to cover ‘Lean on Me’, with all proceeds from the single going directly to the Canadian Red Cross. Other notable names involved include Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Josh Ramsay, Chris Boucher, Shay Mitchell, Trailer Park Boys, and more. The performance was featured on the history making national TV special Stronger Together: Tous Ensemble -the most-watched non-sports Canadian broadcast on record with audiences reaching 11.5M viewers. ‘Lean On Me’ (ArtistsCAN) now has over 10M combined streams globally and racked up international attention in Billboard, Rolling Stone, USA Today, People, Stereogum, and many other high profile publications.<\/p>\n
