A Festive Jamaican Soundtrack Rooted in Culture and Community
Notnice Records delivers a festive offering with Merry Christmas From Yaad, a Christmas themed project that blends seasonal warmth with authentic Jamaican sound and spirit. Curated by veteran producer Notnice, the release brings together a strong lineup of voices including Jah Vinci, D’Yani, Nordia Mothersille, and S’Riah, offering a contemporary take on Christmas music rooted in Caribbean culture.
Rather than leaning solely on traditional holiday tropes, Merry Christmas From Yaad reflects the realities, emotions, and communal energy of Christmas as experienced in Jamaican homes and communities. The production balances modern reggae and dancehall elements with melodic storytelling, creating a project that feels both festive and grounded.
Each track carries its own character, from reflective moments to joyful expressions of togetherness, making the project suitable for both relaxed listening and seasonal playlists. The strength of the release lies in its cohesion, with Notnice’s production providing a consistent sonic foundation while allowing each artist to shine individually.
Merry Christmas From Yaad stands as a reminder that Christmas music does not need to be confined to one sound or narrative. It can be culturally specific, emotionally honest, and still universally relatable. This project adds a meaningful contribution to the growing catalogue of Caribbean Christmas music, offering listeners something familiar yet refreshingly current.
The project is available now via official streaming platforms.
