The Muster Point Project brings a fresh twist to holiday music with “What Do You Want More for Christmas?”, defying familiar cliches with warmth, rhythm, and strange color. The song is pop with Latin influences, expanding the kinds of sounds and feelings a Christmas song can take on.
The song begins in a warm, almost romantic tone that prompts people to lean into what they are hearing. This softness grounds the track before it eventually shapes into something more fun and rhythmic. That shift lends the song its distinctive voice, combining deep feeling with danceable energy.
The Latin percussion and trumpet accents are crucial to the song’s identity, as this is not generally the sort of thing one would associate with Christmas music, yet here they’re imaginatively applied, giving the seasonal theme a lively, warm feeling.
Overseeing the production and mixing is Darryll McFadyen, and their dynamic drummer and percussionist, Marcelo Effori, a studio musician from Montreal, adds depth. “What Do You Want for Christmas?” is remarkable, offering a new emotional experience that makes us want to dance, think, and rethink what holiday music can sound like in this day and age, in a modern multicultural society.
