Carlos Ucedda regularly surprises us, but with „Levitate at Christmas“ he reaches a new intensity: he transforms the quiet season into an ambient synthwave banger that is reminiscent of Bronski Beat at times, while also rethinking post-punk avantgarde synthwave. The production is carefully layered; the vocals sit perfectly between clarity and vulnerability, carrying the song like a guiding star through dense soundscapes. The lyrics unfold a concentrated message: Christmas appears here not as a family ritual, but as a collective moment of rapture. The chorus functions like a recurring signal, marking levitation as liberation from everyday life. Images of flickering, trembling stars create anticipation and a fragile beauty that trembles before an approaching arrival. Angels do not appear as external figures, but as inner forces that awaken dreams in the heart; the self becomes a space for spiritual preparation. Linguistic reduction and mantra-like repetition create a trance-like atmosphere that dissolves into the quiet, determined promise of the ‘fullness of love’. Ucedda deconstructs traditional Christmas images without discarding them: he transforms them into a contemplative experience that is both intimate and expansive. „Levitate at Christmas“ is not a conventional festive song, but a modern, poetic contribution to the season — a piece that lingers and invites us to pause and reflect.
