Brighton-based artist Kaia Fincher shares a heartfelt new release with 'slowburn (Christmas song)', a seasonal ballad that steps away from tradition to make space for the stories often left untold at the holiday table. Crafted with soft piano, upright bass, brushed percussion, and her own gentle, emotive vocal delivery, the track offers a cinematic and deeply intimate moment for listeners navigating unspoken truths during the festive season.
While most Christmas music leans into nostalgia and cheer, 'slowburn' gently addresses the quiet complexity of returning home with parts of yourself still hidden, especially for queer individuals still waiting for acceptance. It’s a warm reminder that love shouldn’t come with conditions.
Released at a time when global LGBTQ+ rights remain under threat, 'slowburn (Christmas song)' is both timely and timeless, delivering a new kind of Christmas song that speaks to where we need to go.
