Today’s song on the advent calender takes high campery and turns it into an art form! Half of it takes its influence from Stock, Aitken and Waterman, the other half pays homage to schlager, and then all of it is processed together using a late 90’s eurocheese synthesizer.
Naturally, it sounds amazing!
It’s from Magnus Carlsson’s very first Christmas album, ‘En Ny Jul’. Released in 2001 while he was still a singer in Barbados, and a full five years before his first proper solo debut album. And despite the fact that it features Alcazar, it was recorded two years before he ended up joining them in the band. So in a way, it was the first taste of the greatness to come. And it remains one of the campest seasonal songs in existence today. Thus making it a festive staple every year for us!
