Every December, we observe the curious phenomenon of artists interpreting and writing Christmas songs. While many of them are bland and irrelevant exercises in festive arts, some others are warm and cosy gems, truly deserving a place in Christmas music paradise. ‘A Little Christmas Of My Own’ by British songstress Nicki Wells is a clear example of that. Channelling her incredible songwriting and vocal abilities, the talented artist builds a nuanced, gentle ballad, slowly wrapping the listener into a poignant and hearty festive vibe.
It doesn’t take music to make Wells’ melodies glow: a tender and sincere acoustic piano is the perfect background for Nicki’s incredible vocals. Controlled, yet evocative, the British talent manages to be relevant both in solo and in harmonies. Lyrically, the track seeks to offer solace and relatability to everyone who might not enjoy Christmas and the holidays as much as they should. As Wells explains: “It’s a bittersweet song about Christmas because for some, it can be a lonely time, not everyone has a family to go to. But by the end, there is a sweet acceptance of a quiet and calm Christmas.”
