Jazz Remake of Christmas Classic, ‘Happy Christmas (War Is Over)’, by Michael Tinholme
Are you on the look out for exciting new Christmas music for the playlist this year? We’ve got just the track for you! ‘Happy Christmas (War Is Over)’ by John Lennon has been altered by the jazz styling and talent of Michael Tinholme and his Band of Legends. Recreating this classic with the same familiar feel in a style that is their own, this is the smoothest Christmas track that you’ll ever hear!
Starting the track in the smoothest, most brilliant way, Tinholme establishes himself as the centre piece of the track, setting the silky tone of the song. Backed up by the immense Band of Legends, they provide music that gives Tinholme the platform to be so great, while doing justice to the original, keeping the feel that we loved about the original. A track that’ll fill any room with a relaxed atmosphere, it suits the Christmas Day feel perfectly while showcasing fantastic talent in every second that pays respects to one of the best Christmas songs of all time, from one of the very best songwriters. The female vocalists and guitar solo add a balance to all of it, allowing each smooth part to feel even better, while keeping the track bright and engaging.
Overall a fantastic track, it hits all the right nostalgic notes that make it feel at home with the original but takes it in a wholly different direction that only the talent of Michael Tinholme and Band of Legends can take so well. Each second is something to be wowed by, giving us a version of this classic we never knew we needed. Out now, make sure that this is next onto your Christmas playlist!
