Bluey - Verandah Santa (Uk) [CD]

Joff Bush and the Bluey Music team proudly present for Christmas a brand-new Bluey single - 'Verandah Santa'. Four brand news songs presented on CD, packaged in special rectangular shaped packaging with exclusive new artwork. 'Let's Play Veranda Santa' is directly from the Bluey episode Verandah Santa and is a truly great representation of an Australian Christmas! It was created using pieces of dialogue and score from the original episode to make sure when you listen to this track you can feel like you're back in the episode and playing along with the Heelers! 'Verandah Santa' is a take on the episode theme, working with Emma Dean and Joe Twist and adding elements played by Camerata - Queensland's Chamber Orchestra. Composer Joff Bush commented "we wanted to have a fun take on Tchaikovsky's Christmas classic, 'The Nutcracker' (one of our favourite pieces) because a fun Christmas needs fun music! We also wanted a 50s Disney-esque sound like some of our favourite Christmas records." As well as the title track, the EP also features a brand-new song - 'I Don't Have A Chimney'. Joff says "We found ourselves writing the lyrics in the style of Emma's young Santa-obsessed kids - resulting in many guffaws and grins! We had so much fun writing and recording this EP together." Track four is a brand-new festive version of the Bluey theme. "We had heaps of fun adding to the original extended theme from the first album with snippets from other tracks like 'Instrument Parade' and some references to 'Jingle Bells' and 'Joy To The World' - and of course adding some fun percussion and other Christmassy flair!" Across December 2024 in the US, the episode "Verandah Santa" ranked #6 on Disney+ among Bluey episodes.

"This EP was wonderfully collaborative and made with a lot of joy. Joe Twist, Emma Dean, the whole Bluey Music Team and I worked with so many of our favourite musicians. To me, Joe Twist's incredible arranging and Emma's stunning vocal performances made the best Christmas present ever. I hope you like it as much as we loved making it."
