Get ready to deck the halls and turn up the holiday cheer! Award-winning artist and producer Justine Blazer has gifted us with Jubilee, her new holiday EP bursting with festive spirit. Featuring four original tracks, Jubilee is the perfect soundtrack to make your season merry and bright. Among the standout songs is “Cozy Little Christmas Cottage,” a nostalgic celebration of holiday traditions that feels like a warm embrace.
Justine’s vocals on “Cozy Little Christmas Cottage” are a spellbinding blend of rich, velvety tones reminiscent of Martina McBride and the playful, effervescent charm of Britney Spears. Her voice sparkles with clarity and charisma, seamlessly blending soulful country warmth with modern pop appeal. Paired with whimsical lyrics like “You got me in a snow globe mistletoe mood / Tis the season to get all wrapped up in you,” the song captures the romance and magic of the holidays, making it a perfect soundtrack for cozy moments with loved ones.
Produced by Justine herself, the track is a shining example of her dynamic production skills and impeccable artistry. Its cozy, sentimental vibe evokes the timeless charm of Trisha Yearwood’s Christmas classics, enveloping listeners in heartwarming melodies and a delightful sense of whimsy.
This year, Justine also embodied the true spirit of the holiday season by participating in the Christmas 4 Kids Tour Bus event in Hendersonville, TN. For over 35 years, this cherished tradition has brought the joy of Christmas to thousands of Middle Tennessee children who might not otherwise experience it. Reflecting on the experience, Justine shared, “Thank you again to Christmas4Kids. That's what the holiday season is all about—giving back and making others happy through music and kindness.”
“Cozy Little Christmas Cottage” is just one gem in Jubilee’s sparkling lineup. The EP also features:
🎄 Cupid Christmas (Feat. 2am Ricky): A flirty, feel-good anthem adding a romantic twist to the holidays.
❄️ Waltzing Through a Wonderland: A magical tune that whisks listeners to a whimsical winter wonderland.
❤️ Together for Christmas: A joyful anthem celebrating love and togetherness during the season.
Jubilee crowns a monumental year for Justine, who recently swept the 2024 Josie Music Awards and contributed to the GRAMMY®-nominated album Impossible Dream. Her unparalleled talents as a producer, songwriter, and performer shine throughout the EP, solidifying her status as a powerhouse in the music industry.
Whether you’re trimming the tree, giving back to your community, or sipping cocoa by the fire, “Cozy Little Christmas Cottage” is destined to become a seasonal favorite. Justine Blazer has truly captured the magic of the holidays, ensuring her music will spread cheer for many Christmases to come.
From the start, the link guys are talking new dive watches from Seiko and Doxa, James’ continued fall into link the world of higher-end audio, and more. Stay tuned to the end for an unlikely homework assignment from Jason and a solid set of final notes. A huge thanks to the HODINKEE Shop for supporting this episode and to everyone who link has been listening to, commenting on, and enjoying the Isolation Tapes – just press play!
Sure enough they did, and the watch he wears is the one that debuted with his link ambassadorship. It's the newest TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 with a silver dial on both a stainless steel bracelet link and a strap (the reason will become clear once you see the film), and he wears this watch link – and this watch only – throughout the entire film.
In practical terms this is probably only relevant if you're a werewolf, but the pursuit of precision for its own sake is a big part of what makes watchmaking link interesting, and link for several decades now, watch brands – independent and otherwise – have pursued improvements in the precision link of their moonphase displays.
Many years link ago I had one foot in the EDC world (these posts are from 2013). It's a massive community, just check the #edc or #everydaycarry hashtag on any social media platform and you'll get an idea link what it's all about. I bet more than a few HODINKEE readers have done a "pocket dump" before (that's when someone empties their pockets and neatly arranges all the contents for an link instagram-worthy picture). If so, show me yours!
All of this functionality is made possible by Vacheron Constantin's long-standing 1142 QP movement, which ticks at 3 Hz, is link manually wound, rocks some 324 components, and is a Hallmark of Geneva link certified movement. Based on the link preceeding 1141 QP, the 1142 QP can trace its roots back to the '40s and the legendary Lemania 2320.
