Kima’s latest song, “A Northern Christmas Saga (Susanne in the Tobacco Shop),” is a delightful breath of fresh air in the world of holiday music. When songs start to sound the same every year, Kima surprises us with a tune full of character, humor, and an unexpected twist.
The story behind the song is just as charming as the music itself. It all began in a grandpa’s old storage room when Kima’s son found a discarded keyboard. Kima, who admits she’s not really tech-savvy, accidentally pressed a button that turned on the keyboard’s rhythm section and couldn’t turn it off! Instead of fighting it, she decided to embrace the beat and let it guide her. The result? A festive Christmas song layered over a catchy reggae groove that keeps going.
What stands out about Kima is how she turned this happy accident into a spark of creativity. The lively rhythm gives the song a playful energy while still capturing that warm, cozy feeling we love during the holidays. It’s like walking into a softly lit room in winter, where someone is happily dancing, bringing a bit of sunshine into the chilly atmosphere.
“A Northern Christmas Saga” is a unique celebration of embracing the unexpected and turning it into something delightful. It’s festive without following the usual patterns, has a fun rhythm without overshadowing its catchy melody, and is made even more special by the story behind its creation. Kima is on her way to creating a new holiday classic that adventurous listeners will want to add to their playlists.
