Nashville based singer Skylar Lee drops Pop anthem “Roman Holiday”
Nashville-based pop artist Skylar Lee is a force not to be reckoned with in the female pop scene. With less than 3% of today’s music produced by women, Skylar gives representation to all females as being both the writer and producer behind her songs, utilizing her sharp perfect-pitch ear to elevate her sound. She hopes to inspire young girls and women alike through her number one creative outlet: music. Skylar has garnered the attention of many supporters, such as through showcases sponsored by ASCAP and Big Yellow Dog Publishing (Meghan Trainor, Jessie James Decker).
Her last single “Whoopsie Daisy” went viral with almost 100k on TikTok, which was later praised by Global Money World as, “a breakout record from an artist who is set to go far.” Since then, she has received press from tastemakers of the world such as Underground Music Collective, Kings of A&R, and Caesar Live N Loud. Sonically, her artistry could be described as the lovechild between Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, and Maisie Peters. Not only does she sit in the pop realm, but she’s not afraid to dig deep and draw from old-time 80s power-pop influences.
Her latest single, “Roman Holiday” was co-produced with Sean Rogers (Lady A, Luke Bryan, Eric Church) tells a story of finding refuge in love, even if life dealt the wrong cards. As the lyrics put it, “And we burned bright / An era that lasted one night / I’ll remember it for a lifetime / Yeah there’s nothing like a Roman Holiday.” In synth glimmer fashion, this pop anthem is infectious with its striking hooks, pulsating beats, and full-heart emotion.
“This talent has perfected the art of forming melodies that carry unforgettable hooks, while adding extra character to the sound with an old–time twist.” – Alfitude
“She translates emotion so well into a song, it’s incredible.” – Internet Religion Podcast

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