MUMBAI: Living up to his reputation & annual tradition, the Grammy Submitted artist just released an intimate, warm and lush Christmas original for the festive season titled It’s Christmas. Rohan Solomon has had an eventful year both as a Singer-Songwriter & Producer, so it’s only fitting that he concludes 2021 with a grand ‘Christmas song’.

Bright lights, bonfire, festivities and warmth seep into the listener’s psyche with Solomon’s latest Christmas offering that comes with piano driven core and rich vocal harmonies. “The feel is ‘celebration’. Every moment of the song is intended to get you in a festive mood… It makes me think of Christmassy things like cake, candy, carol singing, family & presents. My friends who’ve heard the track tell me that’s exactly how they feel too,” says Rohan, who has been known for putting out Christmas renditions year after year. Last year the singer-songwriter had released a much-liked version of the Christmas classic Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer, where he collaborated with well-known singer/songwriter and music educator Bindu Subramaniam.

After a string of well-appreciated singles that chronicled different shades of the pandemic life in 2020, Solomon began this year with a compelling track titled We Demand Change, in June 2021 that gained significant praise from the media and audiences as ‘a fierce poignant anthem’ and ‘pean of hope’, We Demand Change made it the top spots on global radio charts and also was ‘Submitted in Consideration for a Grammy’ under the ‘Best Rock Performance’ category.
