Swedish act Azure Blue—the romantic pop escapism of Tobias Isaksson—will celebrate ten years as a solo artist in 2021. Following celebrated albums and singles of mainly synth based, dreamy, romantic pop, he releases his most organic track to date.
‘All I Want For Christmas Is My Baby’ is an ode to two late idols: Ennio Morricone and all time favourite Scott Walker whose orchestral chamber pop has been a living and breathing part of Tobias since his late teenage years.
All the drums, bass, piano, organ, acoustic and electric guitars, vocals and a full symphony orchestra has been carefully written, arranged, programmed, played and sung by Azure Blue himself. Enjoy the strings, horns and woodwinds along with the most tasteful chamber pop production we’ve heard in a long time. The timeless melody is an instant classic.
The digital single (matda023) is available now via the usual suspects or directly from the Matinée shop. The track is also now featured on our Soundcloud.
