Singer-songwriter Tara brings warmth and nostalgia to the holiday season with her latest release, “I Wish That It Could Be Christmas.” More than just a festive tune, the song is a heartfelt tribute to the golden era of pop, wrapped in feel-good melodies and classic charm. Produced by music legends Phil Pickett and Benny D—the creative duo behind some of Boy George’s biggest hits like Karma Chameleon—this track carries a touch of timeless brilliance.
Tara approaches songwriting with deep empathy. “I try to write empathically,” she explains, “observing characters and imagining what they would feel, channeling that into stories.” In this single, that sensitivity shines through. The lyrics are vibrant and relatable, inviting listeners into a shared emotional space where memories and dreams of Christmas come to life.
Growing up on Long Island, Tara understood early on how music connects generations. She saw how songs could bring back entire eras for her elders—how melodies became markers of time and emotion. That inspiration now fuels her work as she documents modern life and love, turning human stories into soundtracks.
“I Wish That It Could Be Christmas” is more than just her latest song—it’s a warm invitation to reminisce, dance, and feel. With this release, Tara sets the stage for a promising musical journey, one filled with stories, emotion, and timeless production. If you’re looking for a new holiday favorite that still gives a nod to the classics, this one should definitely be on your playlist.
