Abby London’s “Stay Holy”: A Soulful Christmas Hymn for Reflection and Renewal
Seattle-based Abby London, known for her introspective alt-pop artistry, delivers a profound addition to the 2024 Christmas season with her latest single, “Stay Holy.” A heartfelt hymn born from moments of prayer and quiet reflection, the song reorients listeners toward the true essence of the holiday: faith, gratitude, and Christ’s message of love. Collaborating with the Dulcet Choir from Nigeria, London has crafted a piece that transcends cultural and spiritual boundaries, blending her American alt-pop sensibilities with the choir’s warm, resonant harmonies.
In a season often clouded by materialism and fleeting romances, “Stay Holy” stands apart as a call to embrace the timeless values of Christmas. The track features London’s tender vocals and minimalist yet evocative instrumentation. Opening with the soft cadence of piano chords, the song slowly builds as the Dulcet Choir joins in, their voices weaving an intricate tapestry of sound. The result is a modern hymn that feels both intimate and majestic, perfect for quiet moments of reflection or communal gatherings.
London explains her inspiration: “I wanted to create a Christmas song that was Christ-focused, not materialistic or romantic. The song is a reminder to let the spirit of Christmas linger far beyond the season, carrying Christ’s love into our daily lives.” This sentiment is echoed in the song’s lyrics, which emphasize renewal, faith, and the enduring light of hope.
Raised in Coeur d'Alene, North Idaho, Abby London’s musical journey began with childhood experiments on piano and guitar, eventually leading her to Seattle's vibrant music scene. Overcoming personal struggles, including addiction, London redirected her life through faith and music, shaping her unique voice as an artist. Known for her honest, thought-provoking style, she has previously earned recognition with albums like Fill You Up and Piano Songs, exploring themes of self-confidence, relationships, and resilience.
“Stay Holy” is not just a song; it’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper meaning of Christmas. Whether heard in church, at family gatherings, or during solitary winter nights, the song promises to inspire and uplift.
Stream “Stay Holy” and allow its message to resonate in your heart this season and beyond. Abby London has gifted us a hymn for the ages, reminding us to stay holy in our lives, not just during the holidays but throughout the year.
