about

Setting the tone for last years holiday season, they released their grave interpretation of old time classic 'White Christmas' and following the melancholic traces of that piece, they gave 'NYE' - a New Years song about the complexity of ending a close relationship, released on Christmas day.

Now they repeat last years successful Christmas bonanza with a brand new release – a cover of the Mariah Carey classic Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), dressed up in the melancholic costume of pitch perfect choruses and earnestness that is the signature of Maple & Rye.

Talking about their upcoming release, Maple & Rye says: ”The Christmas of 2021 will be bitter sweet. Last year, many of us were unable to spend the festive season with the people we love and the people that we have come to associate this season with. Many of us spent it alone, far far away from our families and loved ones, and in a reality that was completely unfamiliar.
This year, a lot of people around the world will be able to experience a Christmas more similar to what we are used to. Many families will be reunited for the first time in nearly two years, homes will be filled with people, and we will be able to feel the warmth of human companionship once again. In that sense, this Christmas will be a Christmas of renunion. A Christmas to put the hardships of the past two years behind us. A Christmas of hope for better times ahead.
At the same time, there will be empty seats around the Christmas dinner table this year. There will be names missing on the presents under the tree. As we rejoice in the reunion with our nearest and dearest, we will also be remembering the souls that we have lost. Many families will spend their first Christmas without certain individuals. Certain laughs won’t be heard, certain stories won’t be told, and certain songs won’t be sung.
We want to dedicate this song to everyone lost, as well as to everyone who has lost. We want to celebrate our reunion, as well as to commemorate those who are unable to join us. «
