This holiday release from Ava Della Pietra makes you feel like a warm blanket on a cold night. Her track "You Make It Christmas," off her holiday EP "It's Giving Christmas," is an acoustic-driven song that channels the season's spirit togetherness, warmth, and the slight magic-inducing wave of those who make winter feel like home.
This release is significant because it offers a new, modernized presentation of Ava's early musical reads and also makes them available to us. She recalls her past as only a professional can and takes things back to their roots. The song slots perfectly between the intimacy of singer-songwriter, the brightness of folk-rock and the warmth of pop-rock. The narrative conveys an essentially common emotion that holidays aren't gifts, lights, or decorations, but the people who animate them.
As a feeling, it strikes quite close to home right off the bat, fitting for cold winter nights when the snow is gently knocking against your window and memories are particularly potent. "You Make It Christmas," the first track of her EP, sets the mood for the other songs, which also feature another original and a fresh take on "Last Christmas." This song really needs no introduction other than to say it's a soothing reminder that love truly is the reason for the season. Ava Della Pietra has crafted a modern holiday classic here, steeped in emotion, memories and the fond grip of lasting tenderness.
