Eighty Ninety Reveal New Holiday Song, “Snowflakes In Your Hair”, A Snow-Covered Goodbye to 2023
Even though we cover a wide range of artists here at Modern Neon, we always have those sweet mainstays that keep coming back. On our latest peek at the NY indie scene we are checking out “Snowflakes In Your Hair”, the latest from Eighty Ninety. Bursting onto the scene back in 2016, Eighty Ninety hit the ball right out of the gate with their debut single “Three Thirty”. Quickly after its initial release, the single reached #2 on Spotify’s Global Viral Charts and they seized the opportunity to drop their full EP Elizabeth. Now snagging over 25 million streams online, the Eighty Ninety catalog was even selected by Taylor Swift for her official Spotify playlist “Songs Taylor Loves”. They even just released their highly-anticipated self-titled debut album on December 15th. The album represents a significant milestone in their career, showcasing their distinctive fusion of intimate storytelling, catchy melodies, and a unique blend of acoustic and electronic elements. With a commitment to authenticity and vulnerability, the duo invites listeners into a personal and relatable sonic journey.
“We wanted to give our fans something extra, a thank you for the incredible way they’ve embraced our music this year. “Snowflakes in Your Hair’ is about the experience of spending the holidays alone, and we tried to capture the mix of nostalgia and solitude that comes with it. We like snowflakes as a metaphor for the unique and fleeting nature of experiences and relationships: just like every snowflake is different and melts away, the moments and people in our lives leave a lasting impact on who we are even after they’re gone. It’s a symbol of both the beauty and transience of life’s encounters…it’s also just a Christmas song!”
In a gracious gesture following the success of their debut album, Eighty Ninety, the indie-pop project of New York City-based brothers Abner and Harper James, is gifting their fans a special holiday treat with the release of an original song, “Snowflakes in Your Hair.” Intending to express gratitude for the tremendous support received throughout the year, the duo shares a song that delves into the poignant experience of spending the holidays alone. Through the metaphor of snowflakes, the track captures the nuanced emotions of nostalgia and solitude, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life’s encounters and relationships. Beyond its metaphorical depth, “Snowflakes in Your Hair” also serves as a delightful Christmas tune, rounding off a banner year for the duo and solidifying their position as rising stars in the indie-pop scene. This heartfelt musical offering is both a token of appreciation to their dedicated fanbase and a testament to Eighty Ninety’s ability to convey complex emotions through their signature sound.
