KELLY FINNIGAN – ‘I Can’t Wait (For Christmas Time)’ b/w ‘Snowy Night In Ohio’ – 7” – ‘White Snow’ Colour Vinyl [DEC 12]

Description:

7'' - Indies Exclusive Limited Edition White Snow' Colour Vinyl. First new original Christmas music from Kelly, lead singer of Monophonics since his wildly popular holiday album 'A Joyful Sound' (2020).

For the first time since his viral holiday album A Joyful Sound released in 2020, Kelly Finnigan (Monophonics) is back with two new original Christmas songs.

I Cant Wait (For Christmas Time) is a heavy yet laid back cut with a straight ahead pop arrangement. Its that rust belt soul sound with the kind ofharmonies that fuel Southern California cruisers; deep and emotive with just the right amount of instrumentation to push Finnigans tender voice forward. Thetune also features label mate Kendra Morris and her band on backing vocals. Akin to previous KF releases or gems by The Escorts or The Four Mints, thisrecord is meant for you and yours, wrapped in pretty paper under the tree until Christmas morning.

Then save some room for cookies and the b-side 'Snowy Night In Ohio' feels like a slow moving midnight train making its way from Cincinnati to Memphis. Inspired by Finnigans first winter in Ohio, his love for gospel records, and horn arrangements by Isaac Hayes. This is a true stand out instrumental that oozes ice cold soul. It has a brief vocal message from Finnigan that feels testimonial and heartfelt. Featuring Colemines own Terry Cole and Jimmy James, plus Billy Aukstik and Morgan Price. Kelly says to be sure to treat yourself after a taxing year with a record the whole family can enjoy this holiday season. Merry Christmas!
