“My mother has been asking me to write
Christmas songs since forever,” says the multi-talented act. “But I had a hard
time writing my own because I felt like all the great Christmas messages had
already been made. For that reason, and the truth that I only saw Christmas as
a tradition, left me uninspired. But after the Lord renewed my faith, it's like
my vision turned technicolor. Suddenly, I was excited to celebrate Christmas.
Not because of the parties, the foods, or the gifts but because I was finally
looking at the One whom Christmas is all about. Truly Christmas felt hollow
without Christ himself. And that led me to writing Pasko Kasama Mo. This
was finally something I had a unique perspective to.”
The track was written by Hazel Faith
herself, and was arranged, produced, mixed, and mastered by Albert Tamayo, a
good friend of the gospel-pop sensation. Faith, in particular, felt eternally
grateful to Tamayo for being part of her music journey and lending his talent
to the project.
“It's a joy for me to be able to
showcase his genius in Pasko Kasama Mo as well,” adds Hazel Faith. “When
it came to the vibe, it was probably influenced by my feeling of nostalgia and
then looking forward to all that is new. But honestly, I just told kuya Albert
to make it sound like a station ID.”
With guidance by award-winning composer
Jungee Marcelo and a rap verse by WATERWALK RECORDS’ very own Jericho Arceo,
“Pasko Kasama Mo” captures the spirit and glow of Christmas with a retro-modern
appeal. It’s a bop that echoes the feel-good comfort of a home, bursting with
so much life, energy, and natural charisma.
