This is Jamie Alimorad's first time in the holiday scene, and he's doing it his way. He is an award-winning singer-songwriter. "Santa Sucks," Alimorad's newest song, is a Christmas song that doesn't follow the rules. It still has the joy, charm, and sense of community that make holiday music last forever. Alimorad is from Harrison, New York, and has spent his entire career making music that blends different styles and emphasizes singing.
Alimorad asked why so many new Christmas songs all have warm memories, cozy romance, and predictable sentimentality. Instead of doing the same thing over and over, he chose to change the tradition. "Santa Sucks" is a funny song that talks about how frustrating and crazy the holidays can be. It feels like it's going against the rules and is very real.
The track is a group effort that needs musical chemistry and creative accuracy to work. Jordan Sherman helped write and produce the song. Sherman plays guitar, bass, synth, and sings backup. Alimorad sings, adds harmonies on top of each other, and plays expressive piano. David Daniel Díaz makes the music, Sherman and Brandon Buttner mix it, and Makoa Johnson adds the final touch in mastering.
The best part of the song is the big chorus, which has more than 50 voices from all over the world. Family, close friends, and even Alimorad's own music students all sing along, which immediately makes the song better by creating a powerful global choir effect. It sounds like holiday music should sound: loud, happy, and full of mistakes.
