German singer and songwriter Harina offers up the perfect addition to your alternative holiday playlist with ‘Last Christmas’. It’s an edgy trap track warping those seasonal melodies into Harina’s own brand of pop. The underpinning bass adds a layer of brooding darkness to ‘Last Christmas’ and with good reason. The key message here is to raise awareness of the climate crisis and the lasting impact we’re having the globe. We might be able to shut it out of our minds in favour of tinsel and fairy lights at this time of year, but what would happen if it was our last ever holiday season? We probably wouldn’t be filled with the same materialistic cheer. The young artist, who now resides in London surely represents the zeitgeist of her generation in this unique December offering. - Hannah Thacker
