Hi everyone! HorthWorld just landed on my radar last week with their latest single “Merry Christmas (Make Amends)” a delightful throwback to the golden age of 70s style Christmas anthems. This track draws inspiration from festive rock legends like Wizzard, Slade, The Darkness and ELO to bring a nostalgic charm and fresh, heartfelt energy. The song was recorded at RatCat Studios with a brass band arrangement by Simon Nobbs and choir harmonies by Adam Hepkin’s Vocal Zone Voice Studio ensemble.
From the first few seconds you can feel the warmth and joy of this song, it captures the essence of togetherness during the holiday season. Andrew’s rich and passionate vocal performance takes center stage, beautifully complemented by vibrant rock guitars, powerful drums, and glistening tubular bells. The production is polished to perfection with excellent mixing and mastering that highlight every instrument’s role in building this amazing masterpiece.
The lyrics are catchy and heartfelt and mesh perfectly with the vocal melodies to create an atmosphere that feels both comforting and exciting. The collaboration of local musical talents adds a layer of authenticity and community spirit to the track. Honestly, this is one of the best Christmas songs I’ve heard in years. Its joyful energy and timeless charm make it a must-add to any holiday playlist and I’m super excited to see where Andrew and his band go from here.
