Review by Daniel Hoyt & Staff
"Santa’s Got a Brand New Cadillac,” by the Detroit Illharmonic is a Christmas song that really plays like a mix between funk music, hip-hop and classic 60's pop with a little video game music thrown in for fun. Samples and riffs take center stage and drive the song forward with intense energy. It’s got this hip-hop electric beat in it, mixed with a little bit of a funky rhythm, topped off with sparse lyrics sung in the chorus that all come together for a highly unique sound.
The lyrics of "Santa’s Got a Brand New Cadillac" are entertaining, fun and simple.
"Santa's got a brand new Cadillac and he's rolling With your mother."
During the holiday season, every playlist needs an upbeat tune that people can have fun with. This song will lighten up your party and get folks smiling, dancing and having a great time. In "Santa’s Got a Brand New Cadillac," Santa is "the man" as he's got a great ride and he's got the girl.
The inspiration behind this song was to create a fun and funky Christmas tune for people to dance to and The Detroit Illharmonic did just that. "Santa’s Got a Brand New Cadillac" is a head-bopping, stereo pumping, Christmas dance tune that is one heck of a holiday ride!
