On the heels of DEAD OR ALIVE pt 1 release back in September, and a few days before Christmas, Tedashii shines with his vocals on two (2) brand new Christmas songs; Christmas Call featuring VRose and Back Home For Christmas.
Listen to “For Christmas”:
“Christmas Call” ft V.Rose is a record that Tedashii wrote for people who have loved ones who won’t make it home for the holidays. “I wanted to make a song that spoke to that situation and the feelings that come with it. It’s the lack of connection some feel around the holidays that brings music like this to life. I can remember being away from my lady on Christmas. It was no fun at all. Only the promises of what next year would bring for us is what got me through those tough days,” says Tedashii. “I reached out to VRose, who was delighted to collaborate, and I’m glad she did because her dreamy vocals added a glistening touch on this track. It is a real and honest record that gives hope for the holidays. Here’s to everyone having to make a Christmas Call this year.”
“Back Home For Christmas” is an intimate track written with his favorite childhood memories of opening presents, all the good food, and having many relatives home for the holidays. Tedashii adds, “This song empathizes with those who long to be home for the holidays. I wanted to see the angst of that represented in today’s Christmas music, and this song definitely does that. I remember seeing the front door open and so many people crowding in all at once. The crescendo of laughter as new guests arrived brought an enthusiasm and a joy I felt seeing so many people gathered in one place, all connected around the spirit of what this holiday is all about, family.”
These two (2) tracks show the expansion of Tedashii’s musical capabilities, stretching from the norm of his raps and hard-hitting flows. Tedashii for the first time reveals his ability to sing and delights many with comments on his Instagram post here saying, “You. Better. Sing. Tedashii!” from Crystal Nicole, Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, and many more!
