DALHOUSIE, NB, Dec. 9, 2024 /CNW/ – Atlantic Canada-based artist Dee Hernandez, known for blending her Cuban roots with R&B, funk, and pop, is set to release her latest single, Navidad Under the Stars, on December 11th—her late grandmother’s birthday. This deeply personal project is a tribute to her grandmother and a gift to loved ones in Cuba, blending heartfelt lyrics in both Spanish and English to celebrate the joy of the holiday season.

A Song Born from Collaboration and Connection:

Navidad Under the Stars began with a simple text exchange between Dee and her longtime collaborator, musician Silvio Pupo. “I shared the idea for a Christmas song, and Silvio immediately embraced it,” says Dee. The duo worked together, refining ideas until they found the perfect sound. “Silvio’s dedication to perfecting the song matched my own perfectionism,” Dee jokes.

The track was then mixed by producer Marc Gosselin, resulting in a warm, joyous piece that captures the magic of Christmas. Dee’s vocals, soothing and nostalgic, bring a sense of comfort and holiday spirit.

A Tribute to Family, Love, and Togetherness

The song paints a vivid picture of holiday celebrations, evoking memories of togetherness even when loved ones are far away:

> Pienso en ti todos los días

Oh how I wish you were here

Las estrellas, brillan sin cesar

In my heart, we are not far apart

For Dee, this song is more than just a holiday anthem; it’s a way to connect with her family in Cuba and honor her grandmother’s memory. “The stars remind me of her presence, even though she’s no longer with us. Releasing this song on her birthday felt like the perfect tribute.”

A Celebration for All:

With bilingual lyrics, lush instrumentation, and themes of love and joy, Navidad Under the Stars brings people together. The uplifting chorus captures the essence of the holiday season:

> Oh, Navidad, tiempo de amar

Family and friends, here in my heart

Un abrazo, un brindis, un cantar

Celebramos juntos, under the stars

Dee hopes the song will resonate with anyone looking to feel connected this holiday season.

Release Details:

Navidad Under the Stars will be available on all streaming platforms starting December 11th. Stay tuned to Dee Hernandez’s social media and website (deehernandezmusic.com) for updates.

This holiday season, Dee invites everyone to celebrate love and connection—under the stars.
