Alex Whorms shares brand new Christmas single, “Christmas Morning”
Canadian singer-songwriter and professional screen composer Alex Whorms has unveiled her brand new Christmas single, “Christmas Morning.”
A captivatingly warm, heartfelt Disney soundtrack-like Christmas song, Alex began writing “Christmas Morning” as she recalled all the things she was looking forward to doing with her family as they geared up to reunite for the holidays. Inspired by the moment Alex looked down at the sweater she wore while working at the piano, and the talented singer-songwriter noticed she had an old sweater from her younger brother – something he outgrew and passed along to her.
Described by friends as a love letter to her family, Alex’s “Christmas Morning” is a piano-ballad ode to the cherished memories and anticipation of future moments to be created with loved ones during the holiday season. The heartfelt, comforting song was written in late 2020 – a time when many families knew they wouldn’t be able to see one another that year, making Alex even more grateful to know she would be able to be with hers. With a focus that steers away from the materialistic, stressful aspects of Christmas, Alex reminds listeners about what she was reminded of during that time – the importance of being around those you love. With orchestral strings and a delicate piano melody, “Christmas Morning” is a song that sounds as cozy as the memories that inspired it. As the rest of the instruments slowly build around the warmth of Alex’s voice, the song comes to life with drums, violin, and cello. The skilled songwriter’s expertise in scoring has listeners reminiscing about their own comforting memories as she recalls her own.
Teaming up with legendary Canadian artist Drew Jurecka (Dua Lipa, Alvvays) and his incredible Venuti String quartet, “Christmas Morning” listeners can almost hear the warm glow of the fireplace and Christmas lights, brought to life by the musicians on the song. With Davide Direnzo (Holly Cole, Alanis Morisette) on drums and Rich Moore (The Tenors) on bass, “Christmas Morning” was recorded while Alex was a student at Humber College.
Alex shares,
“‘Christmas Morning’ is full of my childhood memories of holiday magic and the heartwarming feelings I still get every year when we come home to celebrate together.”
