J. Cole is preparing the release of his long-awaited sixth studio album, The Fall Off, and has apparently begun one of the most critical steps: Shooting the music video for one of its lead singles. Cole’s manager, Ibrahim Hamad, who’s also his partner in Dreamville Records, posted a photo from the set of the upcoming video on Instagram. “Locked in,” he wrote. “The Off-Season.”

“The Off-Season” is a reference to a photo J. Cole posted on Instagram himself, showing off his “to-do list” building up to the release of The Fall Off. Titled “The Fall-Off Era,” Cole’s list consisted of five major items: “Features,” “ROTD3,” “The Off-Season,” “It’s A Boy,” and finally, “The Fall-Off” itself. So far, he’s accomplished the first two, crossing off the thrilling run of features from 2019 and the Dreamville compilation Revenge Of The Dreamers III, both of which were successes for the North Carolina rapper.

“Blue Christmas” by Lisa Humber delivers a heartfelt holiday melancholic glow

Lisa Humber

Weaving an ethereal soundscape that cuts straight to the soul, Lisa Humber’s rendition of “Blue Christmas” feels like unwrapping an intimate letter to the heartbroken, transforming the familiar holiday classic into a profoundly personal exploration of seasonal melancholy. Gone are Elvis Presley’s iconic version’s upbeat, almost playful undertones; Lisa offers a stripped-back performance characterized by a haunting resonance.

Working closely with producer and guitarist Justin Abedin, Humber breathes life into the song’s quiet void that lingers in the spaces where laughter should reside. Her tender and vulnerable voice evokes a rare sense of unfiltered longing. It’s as though she’s singing directly to the part of us that carries the burden of lonely and disappointed festive promises during a time usually filled with happiness and celebration, creating a stark contrast to the glittering cheer of the season.

The minimalistic instrumentation creates an intimate auditory experience. Abedin’s guitar strings hum softly, almost like a fragile heartbeat, leaving room for Lisa’s vocal tenderness to shine. Each note she sings feels deliberate, and every lyric is imbued with the ache of memories and the quiet hope of what could have been.

Humber’s evolution as a songwriter began with her debut original composition, ‘Boxing Day.’ With this new single, she demonstrates her adeptness in capturing the nuances of human emotions. “Blue Christmas” isn’t just a cover; it functions as a reimagined dialogue with the audience, providing shared solace to anyone whose holiday experiences might not meet the cheerful festive narrative.

This interpretation of “Blue Christmas” encapsulates a dual sense of introspective warmth and illumination while simultaneously embodying bittersweet emotions. Its impact is particularly pronounced when complemented by visuals of twinkling lights juxtaposed against through a lens of melancholy. Ultimately, it represents a stunning addition to Humber’s growing catalog of musical works.
