As the Christmas season approaches, Lorna Dea, a soulful artist from the Midlands, gifts her fans a new holiday single, “Little Things”. Known for her distinctive blend of pop beats with subtle Motown influences, Lorna continues to captivate listeners with her unique sound and thought-provoking lyrics.
Lorna’s musical journey has already earned her recognition from both local and national radio stations. She has received significant support from BBC Introducing East Midlands, BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Leicester, and BBC 1Xtra, with BBC Introducing East Midlands’ Dean Jackson praising her as “a real rising star, on the cusp of great success.”
A Reflective Take on the Christmas Spirit
This year, Lorna takes a different direction with “Little Things,” offering a refreshing departure from the typical holiday anthems like Elton John’s “Step into Christmas” or Wizzard’s “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day.” Instead of the usual upbeat, jolly tunes that characterise many Christmas songs, “Little Things” delivers a slower, more reflective sound, encouraging listeners to slow down and appreciate the small, often overlooked moments that make the holiday season so special.
With lyrics that invite introspection, Lorna reminds us of the importance of connection and presence during the festive season. “Look around and tell me what you’ve found, cause I’ve observed a problem quite profound,” she sings, pointing out how easily people can be physically present but mentally elsewhere. The song’s central message is clear: amidst the noise and rush of modern life, it’s crucial to take a step back and savour the ‘little things’ that create lasting memories.
“Little Things” is a song that invites you to take time to reflect on what truly matters during the holidays. Lorna encourages us to embrace moments of togetherness, to put down our phones and engage with those around us, and to cherish the simple joys that come with the season. With lines like, “I want to talk about our hopes and dreams, not what you’ve seen on mobile screens,” she calls for a return to authentic connection and genuine conversation.
The song’s delicate yet powerful message about slowing down and making time for what truly matters is bound to resonate with listeners this Christmas. Lorna’s smooth, soulful voice and the track’s soothing rhythm combine to create a song that is both reflective and uplifting, providing the perfect soundtrack for those looking to embrace the true spirit of the season.
So, as Christmas draws near, make sure to take a moment to listen to “Little Things” on Spotify, and let Lorna Dea’s heartfelt reminder about the importance of small moments bring warmth and joy to your festive celebrations.
