Dani Felt, an indie pop singer based in LA, embarks on a new musical journey with her new single, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." Many people have put their own spin on this classic holiday song, but Felt gives it a new, personal, and cinematic twist that focuses on mood, emotion, and a little bit of end-of-year magic.
The song was first recorded for a movie pitch, but Felt couldn't keep it behind closed doors because it was too personal and moving. Instead, she decided to make it her project so that its atmospheric edge and heartfelt warmth could reach the people it was always meant for. Ernest Lee made the single, and Dallas Jack mixed it. The soundscape is carefully put together and feels both modern and timeless. Felt's voice is supported by soft textures that glow underneath. The combination creates a moody, immersive background that pays tribute to the original while adding her own indie pop style.
What makes this version stand out is Felt's goal to create a version that not only sounds good as a holiday song but also touches listeners' hearts and stays with them. Her delivery is both soft and strong, capturing the season's softness and complexity. It's a song for late-night drives, quiet times by the tree, and anyone who wants to get to know a classic they thought they already knew better. The end result is a beautiful, moody, cinematic piece that adds a new spark to the holidays and confirms Felt's status as a creative voice to watch.
