Tegan and Sara release synthpop Christmas single from 'Happiest Season' soundtrack
Canadian duo Tegan and Sara have released the festive single ‘Make You Mine This Season’, lifted from the soundtrack from holiday film Happiest Season.
The first single in over a year from the duo, it is a gorgeous synthpop dance track with sublime melodies tumbling over each other, co-written with and produced by Alex Hope (Alanis Morrissette, Carly Rae Jepsen, Selena Gomez). In amongst the joyful, perky soundscape though is a melancholic streak as unrequited love winds through the lyrics: “You’re the only girl I've got on my list / I want your name, I know it's foolish / But I chase the feeling, ’cause you keep me dreaming / That I could make you mine”.
The track reflects the storyline of Happiest Season which sees Abby, played by Kristen Stewart, planning to propose to her girlfriend Harper (Mackenzie Davis) at the family Christmas until she discovers Harper has kept their relationship a secret from her family and she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her relationship.
‘Make You Mine This Season’ features on the female-focused soundtrack, which was executive produced by Justin Tranter (Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga, Julia Michaels) and in celebration of the queer community, each of the eleven tracks on the album feature LGBTQ+ songwriters or artists. Some of the biggest names in music today are featured, including Anne-Marie, Bebe Rexha and Sia.
A Hulu original film directed by Clea DuVall, Happiest Season will debut in the US on November 25th.
The Happiest Season soundtrack will be released by Warner Music on November 6th and is available to pre-order now.
‘Make You Mine This Season’ is out now via Warner Music. You can stream and download here.
