Acclaimed singer-songwriter and frontman for The Revivalists David Shaw has released his new holiday song. Titled “Christmas!,” the song is a holiday cover of George Michael’s classic hit, “Freedom.” “Christmas!” was produced by Shaw himself and recorded at The Parlor in New Orleans, LA. “This is the Christmas song for people who don’t like Christmas music,” says Shaw.
The song follows Shaw’s recently released second solo album, Take a Look Inside. Produced by Shaw at Esplanade Studios in New Orleans, LA, Take A Look Inside sees him exploring life and love against an organically created backdrop of hazy acoustic guitar, ethereal piano, and bluesy grooves, all told with acute intuition, keen insight, and unabashed honesty. The gifted singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist spent much of the past few years writing and recording the album in bursts of inspiration amidst an unceasingly busy schedule – not only as frontman for chart-topping, Multi-Platinum rock band The Revivalists but also as a new husband and dad. Shaw will be performing songs from Take a Look Inside on CBS Saturday Morning on December 7.
He also recorded Take A Look Inside (Piano Version), which came out earlier this November. Created as a lullaby version of the album for David’s daughter, the Piano or Sleep Version of Take A Look Inside is a collaboration between David Shaw and Andrui Yanovski aka Yano. The alternative take strips the music back to its gentle and peaceful soul allowing the listener to reflect and meditate while listening to the tunes. The record was initially debuted in Aspen, Seattle, and Denver at yoga studios who partnered with Shaw on his tour to create unique listening experiences.
