No More Lonely Christmas, the new album from ALYA, which was just dropped, is a fulfilment of the artist’s Christmas wish, embodied in the track that provides the name for the album.The eight tracks feature ALYA’s versions of three classics, including a collaboration with Eric Clapton on “Silent Night,” and five original songs, including the title track, a fast, fun, hand-clapping, jazzy, pop love song.“We wanted to create something that would be an updated version of Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You,’ which is a song I really love, a Christmas classic, but we felt like it’s time for something new, fresh, cool, and ‘No More Lonely Christmas’ is the song that came out of the thought.”Where Mariah’s song is a wish for a certain someone, ALYA’s song is the wish come true: I waited since foreverand now that we’re togetherI feel the holiday cheerCuz I’ll never be alone on Christmas“It was very fun to record,” she said. “There is a lot going on in the track.”Piano, horns, clapping, drums all combine
