The popular music group known as
Starflight have released their original seasonal song, “Seasons
Greetings.” It has been published by the Candyland Music
independent record label. It is the most significant official release
from the pop band since their April 2013 debut LP, “Adventure
Beyond.” Groovy, catchy, and driven by the powerful pop-rock
principles of the classic era, “Seasons Greetings” is an
uplifting and endlessly fun song that will be just as effective in
June as it is during the holidays.
Starflight cite as main artistic
influences the Beach Boys, the Beatles, ELO, Abba, Fleetwood Mac, and
Queen. As might be guessed from this golden list of legends,
Starflight themselves have the hallmarks of excellent songwriting,
crystalline vocal harmonies, and unstoppable hooks. They strive to
make music that is both contemporary and timeless, and in this their
characteristic sound takes root.
“Seasons Greetings” serves as an
excellent example of this, as it is both a song intended for play
during the yuletide season and written in such a way as to make it
accessible to listeners at any other time of year. Few other popular
tracks have been able to perform this feat as seamlessly as have
Starflight, but then Starflight are an uncommonly versatile music
project.
Their “Adventure Beyond” record was
a return to the pre-MTV style of sound which depended on instrumental
prowess and intuitive music writing, and the record reached a world
of enthusiastic listeners. Their official music videos for “She
Wants an Angel” and “Phasers on Stun” are some of the
best-received videos by independent musicians ever published. These
are currently available for viewing on their official band website
[link provided below].
Speaking of the themes of their holiday
single, “Seasons Greetings,” Starflight write that it is about
“Peace, love, and innocence in these these fraught, depressing and
frightening times.”
Starflight is a studio band from
Sydney, Australia. Led by singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist
and music producer Jib Khan, it included keyboardist and backing
vocalist Damien Spanjer until recently. Starflight have said their
mission is to return to the vintage sounds of the '60s, '70s and '80s
for modern listening. Their “Adventure Beyond” full-length record
was nominated in no fewer than four categories at the Australian
Indie Music Awards. Damien announced his departure from the band this
September, leaving Jib Khan firmly at the helm.
Khan commented on Starflight's plans by
saying, “Work has already begun on new singles as well as
Starflight's second album, so fasten your seatbelts and prepare for
flight!”
“Seasons Greetings” by Starflight
