Cinematic metal act Disconnected Souls are preparing to release their 2023 festive offering following what has become a tradition of sorts for the quintet. Beginning in 2018 with “Walking in the Air”, the band have since given a Christmas classic an eclectic twist each year. Now, in 2023, it’s finally time for WHAM! to receive a Disconnected Souls reimagining. Providing a 90’s-esque synth fueled take (with a twist) on this ’80s hit, “Last Christmas” was released on December 5th.
Band leader Fletch comments:
If you’ve followed DS for any length of time, you’ll probably know that we love doing reinterpretations of Christmas classics, and therefore it was kinda inevitable that at some point we would find ourselves faced with ‘Last Christmas’. To be brutally honest, none of us are big fans of the original! However, we wanted to see what we could do with it and were particularly keen to make one of our friends happy (who had been repeatedly suggesting it). We ended up staying surprisingly accurate to the original music, but focussed on vocal FX / reducing the tempo and adding some more melancholy instrumentation. As always we hope you enjoy and happy holidays!
