Very good hiphop in the beginning, then surprisingly changing into a jazzy house beat with the French lady talking. The epiano is beautiful. There should have been a little saxsolo of the miraclejunior, too. Good job.

The beginning kind of sounded like sparkly holiday lights to me and then I think I got transported to some sort of sophisticated European club/cafe.  I agree with Q-Rosh.  A little bit of sax would have fit in really nicely, although it's miraculous you've gotten the teenage son to contribute as much as he has this year.  It still captures a fantastically cool vibe as is.

Very tastefully put together. I love the jazzy phrases juxtaposed with the modern house beats. Dreamy vocals, too. My only nitpick would be that the ending is a little abrupt. But it's a detail. I enjoyed it as is.

the piano(s) sound soooo nice, like a holiday blanket.
gear shift is rad and gives us the pick-me-up we need to get through week 52!

I love this, the samples and sounds used work together so well, drums sound fantastic, lots of variety through out but again you have a great skill at making it all work and sound cohesive.

Ooof that opening piano pling is magical!  Hooked me from the start with that and how it slides so nicely into the groove.  Woah suhweet changeup with the drums and taking it to a new jazzy level.  The drums sound so good in the mix especially with the cymbals.  The vocals tie the contrasting genres together and then those lovely bells and splashy cymbals return.  Indeed agree with jwh this track is full of energy and huge much needed jolt of energy! \m/  laid back outro +1

Yes, surprise change up to keep us awake! Agree some miraclejunior sax would be nice on this, maybe for next version, and we'll put it on our album . I didn't bug him to place this week, waiting for the final week so we can go out with some smooth sax jams. Thanks for listening, appreciate your comment!

Oooh yes, nailed it. In fact this is based on a true story. We're looking at some holiday lights. We crawled into Santa's bright mouth and BANG, we're in a French club! Forgot to mention that in description, but I knew you'd pick that up ! This would benefit from some sax for sure, I replied about that to Q-Rosh above. Thanks for listening and commenting!

Thank you! Appreciate the comment. I have a real soft spot for some jazzy house. Glad you mention the end cut off, that was a mistake. I'll fix that on next version that hopefully has some sax on it.

Nothing like an audio holiday blanket, always helps on the cold nights. Yes, I sure need a pick me up to get through holidays and week 52, so some musical caffeine here was in order. Now that I'm thinking about this, I think I may just split this into two tracks if I revisit: Blanket version Let's Go version. Thanks for checking this out!

Thanks very much! It was fun using more samples for this one than normal. This was another one like so many weeks where I had a lot of material, and I just do my best to fit it all into the track. I'm glad you thought it ended up cohesive enough. I appreciate your comments, thanks!

Ah yes, that piano sample so good, I chopped it up in places but kept a lot intact, love it. I'm happy you thought drums worked out ok. Actually had placeholder drums, then replaced with drums I played live and recorded on the last day. Glad you got a jolt of energy her and found some tasty sounds. Appreciate your thoughtful comment, let's go week 52!!!
