Çarolinaline - Christmas with Jesus
Christian/Gospel, Bluegrass, Country
North Carolina, United States
Overall Impression: “Christmas with Jesus” is a somber yet poignant tune and the latest release from the band Carolinaline, the song tells the stories of babies who have lost their lives and are contacting their parents and loved ones from above describing what heaven is like. The profound subject matter is accompanied by a beautiful melody that tugs at the heartstrings, while also inspiring a sense of hope and a sense of resolution of loss and all those involved. The song will appeal to those who enjoy easy listening, inspirational, Christian, spiritual, or Christmas music.
Strongest Point(s): In this song, the vocals, and melody complement each other, making an otherwise heart breaking subject somehow more bareable. The vocals and melody convey the sincerity behind the lyrics and also feature twinge of country and bluegrass, not only in the singer's voice, vibrato and tone but also in the instrumentation with use of the mandolin and acoustic guitar that create an almost Mexican or spanish guitar feel to it. The vocals are polished and concise and very similar and in the same caliber to artists like Miranda Lambert, Pam Tillis, and Dolly Parton.
Target Audience Appeal: For fans of country, country pop, inspirational, easy listening, Christian, and Christmas music.
Artist target suggestions: Celine Dion, Eden's Bridge, Kathy Mattea, Margaret Becker, Sandi Patty, Rebecca St. James, Debbie Gibson, Mallary Hope, Sovereign Grace Music, Lindsay McCaul, Natalie Grant, Anne Wilson, Live, Bethany Dillion, Audrey Assad, and Hannah Kerr
