The Christmas spirit has found a new anthem in “Swing Into Christmas”, a jazzy masterpiece by Wilfred LeBlanc, adorned with the talents of global artists. Released on December 19th, this 3:31-long track is not just a melody; it’s a harmonious rendezvous of cultures, unified under the canopy of music.
The story of “Swing Into Christmas” is as heartwarming as its rhythm. Written on a November day in 1991, it lingered in LeBlanc’s treasure trove of compositions, waiting for the right moment. It took his wife’s admiration to bring this gem to light, making it a Christmas gift not just for her but for music lovers worldwide.
LeBlanc, a seasoned songwriter and recording artist from the mid-90s, who seamlessly transitioned into video production, brings more than just notes to the table. His vision for music as a universal language resonates throughout this track. His YouTube channel offers a glimpse into his musical journey, showcasing his evolution and depth as an artist.
The track is a melting pot of international talent. The vocals by Clay Collins (USA) weave seamlessly with the rhythmic drums by Francesca Pratt (Italy), creating a backdrop that’s both vibrant and soulful. The bass by Dan G (USA) and keys by Andy Arias (Argentina) add layers of depth, while the horns by Dima Faustov (Ukraine) and sax by Manuel Trabucco (Italy) infuse a burst of energetic brilliance. Nicky V (USA) on the guitar strings together this global ensemble, making “Swing Into Christmas” a testament to the power of collaborative creativity.
LeBlanc’s current project, “The Vaudevillian”, a feature musical with 11 songs (nine penned by him), is set for a sneak peek in early 2024. His approach to music as a tool transcending boundaries is evident in this project. It’s not just about the songs; it’s about the stories they tell and the bridges they build.
His message is clear and inspiring: music is global. This song, crafted via the internet, showcases the extraordinary capabilities of today’s interconnected world. Artists from different corners of the globe, each a master in their craft, came together to create something that transcends geographical and cultural barriers.
