Chandra releasing Christmas Hugs
Feel the magical holiday vibes and emotive power of music as Chandra from Bristol brings festive joy with their latest single.
On Friday, 22nd November 2024, England’s very own Indie Melodic Pop Rock band, Chandra, unveiled their latest single, “Christmas Hugs.” Bursting with joy, good vibes, and catchy earworm melodies, this festive track promises to light up your holiday season. Following the August release of their 6-track Lifted EP, “Christmas Hugs” exemplifies Chandra’s knack for cheeky, melody-driven pop-rock infused with unabashed festive flair and nostalgic nods to Christmas gold.
As a collective of music curators at PopHits.News, we are excited about this release. “Christmas Hugs” is not merely another holiday song; it captures the heart and soul of the Christmas spirit. The band’s frontman, Chandra Nair, encapsulates this essence perfectly:
“My favourite thing about Christmas is the swell of joy and goodwill that spreads like a virus as soon as Halloween ends and runs all the way through to New Year’s Eve. It’s as if people give themselves permission to be more friendly, more charitable, and more forgiving than they ever would be at any other time of year. We wanted to write a song that celebrates this wonderful transformation of the human spirit but also a song that acts like a great big Christmas hug in, and of, itself.”
