SIBLINGS duo Martin Looi and Lav Looi have released a Christmas album, taking on holiday classics that combine Martin’s violin with Lav’s soulful vocals.
Titled Wrapped In Harmony, the eight-track album is a hybrid of instrumental arrangements with Martin’s violin work as the focal point, blended with Lav’s distinct voice on selected tracks.
The duo covered classics such as Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, Silent Night and Hallelujah. Other offerings include the duo’s previous The Christmas Song and Santa Tell Me.
With Wrapped in Harmony, Martin and Lav deliver unique arrangements of beloved Christmas
classics, reimagined with modern pop stylings. The siblings took three months to complete the album.
