"Walking in the Air," La Nouvelle Musique (Snowflakes Christmas Singles Club)

As previously announced, the Dutch-based Snowflakes Christmas Singles Club dropped their four singles for 2025 today, and the first one comes from this London-based husband-wife duo. The A-side is a selection from the British animated Film "The Snowman," and is well-liked in that country, with multiple versions recorded over the years. This is a folky chanteuse version with Joanna Beck's soprano front and center over finger-picked acoustic guitar. Flip it over for "Face of a Saint," a band original covering similar ground with a similar approach. The vinyl single is sold out and downloads are tied to the ownership model, and there's no streaming other than for Bandcamp users. Past experience suggests there may be alternative ways to hear these songs at some future date, however.
