American singer Walker Hayes released a Christmassy version of his well-known Fancy Like, but it’s Fancy Like Christmas this time. It’s a sweet family Christmas song that tells the personal story of Walker Hayes and how he spends Christmas with his family.
The music is Country. The song has a rhythmic sound that is upbeat and catchy. It starts with a bold guitar beat that is fantastic throughout the tune, credit to electric guitarist Adam Stark. Then, the sleigh bells are slowly incorporated into the song, and a lovely holiday cheer is added to show that it’s a Christmas song. It follows the rhythm of the song Fancy Like, which is done into a Christmas remix. It also has a fun dance vibe. The Country music in this holiday single gives a dynamic, cozy feel. Shane McAnally did impressive work producing the single. The composition is remarkable and easy to follow, with a natural flow.
Walker Hayes’ voice is bold and husky. He sounds like he’s genuinely having fun talking about spending Christmas with family. He sings this song with heart and soul.
The lyrics are sentimental and personal. Walker Hayes, Cameron Bartolini, Josh Jenkins, and Shane Pittman wrote the words to the cheerful song and did an excellent job. Christmas references make this song fun and dynamic, such as Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas is You and the mention of the Home Alone movies (with Macaulay Culkin). Other fun references include the peppermint mocha in a latté and egg nog. What also makes this song personal, from the heart, is the use of Southern expressions like the word “Bougie,” which is about indulging in luxuries such as the iPhone and various items on Amazon, etc. He describes how he spends Christmas with family; the love is genuine and sweet.
The single Fancy Like Christmas is available.
