“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,” says Chandra Nair, frontman of the band.

This sentiment is evident throughout the track, which conveys a poignant message in classic Chandra fashion, all while embracing the feel-good essence of holiday music.

Co-produced by long-time collaborator Aaron Shawt, who has worked on projects like Smile (No Fox Gibbon), Pretty, and I’ll Be There, Christmas Hugs stands out with its striking quality and impeccable production. The cover art, created by the legendary Wil Overton, adds a visual charm that’s synonymous with the band’s brand.

As a music curator from TopMusic.News, we couldn’t agree more: “Chandra’s Christmas Hugs is a sonic embodiment of festive joy, with an infectious energy that rivals classics from industry titans like Coldplay and Imagine Dragons.”

Alternating between power pop and reflective indie melodic pop-rock elements, Chandra’s music seamlessly blends genres to create something distinctly their own. The synergy between Keith Jones on drums, Chris Wong on bass, and Chandra Nair on guitar and vocals is evident, providing a solid backbone to their invigorating sound. Although the band is actively seeking a new lead guitarist, their present lineup already showcases a sound that’s both vibrant and cohesive.
