From the timeless classics that evoke nostalgia to modern renditions that bring a fresh twist, Christmas songs are the soul of the holiday. Because of this, they’re typically warm and inviting tunes that are joyful, but this can also make them monotonous.

This is why we found Taydem Shoesmith’s new single, “So Mrs. Claus,” interesting, a prospective Christmas song with a more melancholic edge to it. Let’s see how it holds up in our full review.

Taydem Shoesmith’s latest single, “So Mrs. Claus,” is a refreshing departure from the typical festive cheer associated with Christmas songs. In this surprisingly calm and laid-back tune, Taydem takes listeners on an emotional journey that delves into the poignant aspects of the holiday season. “So Mrs. Claus” is a demure reflection on missing the people who would make the holidays special.

The song unfolds with a quiet intensity, establishing a contemplative atmosphere from the opening notes. Taydem’s approach to “So Mrs. Claus” is remarkably restrained, allowing the emotional weight of the lyrics to take center stage.

The calm and laid-back nature of the song sets it apart from the often exuberant and joyful character of Christmas music, immediately capturing the listener’s attention with its subdued elegance.

As the narrative unfolds, Taydem’s vocals emerge as the true star of the song. Her voice possesses a unique quality that stands out and shines, carrying a genuine and emotive resonance. Taydem’s sincere and honest vocal performance becomes a vessel for the heartfelt message of missing loved ones during the holiday season, creating a poignant and relatable listening experience.

The song takes an unexpected turn around the halfway point, picking up slightly in intensity. This subtle shift adds a layer of complexity to the composition, infusing a dynamic quality without losing the overall demure tone. We quite liked this little shift, it comes in to raise the mood a little, but just as quickly, it gives way to the song’s overall mood once more.

What truly distinguishes “So Mrs. Claus” is its surprisingly heavy emotional weight. In a genre often characterized by festive merriment, this song stands out for its willingness to explore the more profound and contemplative aspects of the holiday season. Taydem Shoesmith infuses the song with a gravitas that sets it apart, creating a space for reflection and emotional resonance.

The arrangement is thoughtful, allowing the song to breathe and evolve naturally. The production quality is consistent with the overall tone of the song, and it’s overall an impressively cohesive package.

“So Mrs. Claus” is a testament to Taydem’s artistry, demonstrating her ability to infuse holiday music with genuine emotion and a distinctive voice that leaves a lasting impression. It sets itself apart from its contemporaries, and puts a spotlight on the artist’s skill as a performer. We’re eager to see what she has in store in the future!

Ironically, we can’t really give anything to God because everything, including ourselves and all that we have, belongs to Him already! So, what pleasant gift can we give to God, the One who owns everything and gave it all up for us?

‘GIVE MY LIFE’ answers that question by inviting us to give God our life, heart, soul, and everything for this reason: While God is the creator of absolutely everything, including the very breath within us, He does not have true possession of us unless we freely surrender ourselves to Him as a gift to of honour Him. And what better time to honour God with the gift of our life, other than at Christmas? The season when we are most selfless and generous; displaying loving acts of kindness, and giving gifts, one to another; to friends, family, loved ones, and even to strangers. Nonetheless, despite our thoughtfulness, we often forget one thing; giving something to the One whose birth we commemorate at Christmas. Jesus Christ, our Lord and God.

A late popular artist sang: “…last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away…” What a sad thing to experience at any time of the year and certainly not at Christmas! Here’s the good news! We all can entrust our hearts, our souls, our entire lives, and everything we are and own to God not just at Christmas, but at any other time of the year without experiencing heartbreak or disappointment!

‘GIVE MY LIFE’ is now available on all streaming outlets. ‘GIVE MY LIFE’ is the third single to be released in Ayobola’s 2024 upcoming EP.

May your heart be rested and secured this Christmas. May the Spirit of Christ bring you and your loved ones joy, peace, and hope as you give your life, heart, soul, and everything to God this Christmas and beyond in Jesus’ name.
