With a mild interaction of harp, organ, nature sounds and layered vocals, Shy goals to struggle the case for the traditional tune – with its cosy, shimmery sweetness – as an missed addition to the festive canon.
The tune evokes a mild, craving ghostliness which lends itself to this re-imagining the Spice Ladies’ lyrics (a few ladies asking her lover to come back again to her after difficulties and separation) as a name from past the grave.

“This was again in a pre-X Issue, LadBaby and streaming period when there was a severe race for Christmas primary that individuals gave a shit about. I actually hope our model, which could be very completely different from the unique, may give folks both a heat nostalgic feeling, or the chills of a Christmas ghost story – or each!”
