Mina Luna Puts an Alt-R&B Spin on “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”

An alt-R&B offering that brings to mind serpentwithfeet and Erykah Badu, “Tidings of Comfort and Joy” is, well, a alt-neo-soul offering that turns “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” on its head. That’s to say it’s a bop and not a slow, dramatically-delivered song. I love the intimate space Luna carves out on this one, as it puts listeners in the mood for Christmas and the Holiday Season–but also makes them think about the realities of the season. The singer/producer/songwriter gives us a beautiful offering for this holiday season. Check it out above and remember to support dope music in all its forms.
