The Hello Darlins<\/a> is a Calgary-based roots rock collective who are due to release their debut album \u2018Go By Feel\u2019 in 2021. Founded by vocalist Candace Lacina and keyboardist Mike Little, the band is building on its burgeoning fanbase with the release of a Christmas EP \u2018Heart in the Snow\u2019. The 4-song collection features one cover version and three originals, and it\u2019s an unusual move for a band that\u2019s not even released an album yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Heart in the Snow\u2019 opens with \u2018Do You Hear What I Hear\u2019, a cover of the classic song original recorded by the Harry Simeone Chorale. In the hands of The Hello Darlins, the track is transformed into a gentle beat-driven track with a little bit of a rock influence. Lacina\u2019s vocals are beautiful and she sounds wonderful, particularly as she pushes into her upper range on the chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first of the original tracks, \u2018One More Christmas\u2019, follows and that\u2019s when the EP really finds its feet. Written three years ago as a tribute to Little\u2019s stepmother, who lost her fight against cancer, the song is incredibly emotional. It captures Little\u2019s stepmother\u2019s desire to share one final Christmas with her family and sadly she passed on Christmas Eve. Knowing that story, it\u2019s hard to get through the song without a little tear or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The Night That He Arrived\u2019, written by Sarah Van Peteghen, was written over a decade ago and it tells the story of the Nativity. The song features band member Brett Ashton on vocals, giving The Hello Darlins a completely different sound and feel. It\u2019s a showcase of their versatility and it\u2019s another beautiful song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EP comes to a close with the title track, \u2018Heart in the Snow\u2019, a song that originally started out as an instrumental. Lacina wrote lyrics to the track, inspired by her children\u2019s earliest Christmas. It\u2019s a sentimental and moving song with Lacina\u2019s vocals causing goosebumps with every word she sings. Stunning strings add depth to the track and for me, it\u2019s the best track of the four included here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Heart in the Snow\u2019 is a strong EP from The Hello Darlins and it\u2019s got me very excited about their upcoming debut album. With only four songs to go off, I can see the band has huge promise and I\u2019m desperate to hear more. I have a sneaking suspicion we\u2019ll be hearing a lot more about The Hello Darlins in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
