Steve Balsamo releases new single..."Snow Angels"

SWANSEA, Wales - Nov. 27, 2023 - PRLog -- Steve Balsamo needs no introduction to those who love great voices in the music world!
"Snow Angels" is a brand new, lush, heartfelt Christmas Pop ballad from Steve which was co-written with another Welshman, multi-award winning singer/songwriter Darren Parry and the young, English talent of singer/songwriter Josh Gleaves.

Steve says... "Darren, Josh and I actually wrote the song on Zoom about 2 yrs ago, during the lockdown periods. The song was written pretty quick". Steve adds... "Darren and I did a rough guitar version recorded into our phones at first, before Josh did an acoustic version in the studio in London a little while later. Steve continues... "it was only very recently that we had the very talented Andrew Griffiths (AGM Productions) produce this new studio version with a gorgeous, lush, orchestral type arrangement. I put down the lead vocal at Andrew's studio (in the Swansea Valley) and Darren, Andrew and I did all the backing vocals/harmonies you hear, including the 'choir'!". The title takes the imagery of 'snow angels' (the shape that people can make in the snow when they lie down) and uses it as a metaphor to tell the story of a relationship between two people at Christmas time.

Steve has been Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, written past songs for Slash, Meatloaf, Cliff Richard, toured with Jon Lord (of Deep Purple fame), formed the band The Story's (who toured with Celine Dion and Elton John), was part of Balsamo/Deighton (an Americana duo with Rosalie Deighton) and more recently part of Balsamo/Collins/Riley with Andy Collins and Pete Riley.

Darren's achievements include... 2004 UK Songwriting Champion, 2014/2016 USA Song Of The Year contest runner up, ISSA International Male Vocalist Of The Year and Male Songwriter Of The Year as well as writing with/for The Korgis ("Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime"), Dazzle Music (Charlotte Church) and many others!

Young Josh is a 21 yr old award winning singer/songwriter from London, nicknamed "The Heartbreak Kid"! He lives and breathes his passion for music and started writing and performing from just 10 years old. Despite still only being 21, the sound of his guitar alongside his raw and ethereal vocals have filled venues all over the U.K. for over 8 years.

This collaboration between three great singer/songwriters and the production talents of Andrew Griffiths has them manifest an earworm, contemporary, Christmas Pop ballad that also manages to hark back/take inspiration from the classic Christmas songs of old, such as "A Winter's Tale" by David Essex. The song beautifully shows off the softer side of Steve's world class, 4 octave vocal range and deserves to become a new Christmas classic for our modern times!

"Snow Angels" is out now... everywhere!
