Søren Hansen (New Politics) Releases “Christmas Time”
Søren Hansen has released a new holiday single titled, “Christmas Time,” which follows his recent self-titled debut solo effort, released earlier this year on ENCI Records.
The co-founder of platinum-selling Danish alternative pop band New Politics says of the new track, “Releasing this song, created with my close friends from New Politics, fills me with holiday spirit. I can’t wait for you all to experience it and feel the joy too!”
“Christmas Time” is a fun, up-tempo holiday anthem that captures the magic and joy of the season. Written in the heart of Brooklyn by Soren Hansen and David Boyd, and powered by the dynamic drumming of Lou Vecchio, the song is a celebration of love, togetherness, and festive cheer.
About Søren Hansen
Once you find your calling, it never lets go of you…Søren Hansen co-founded platinum-selling alternative pop band New Politics, released five fan favorite records, and toured around the world for over a decade. Eventually, the vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer wound up in Nashville where he planted roots and carved out a lane for himself behind-the-scenes as a songwriter and producer, collaborating with a bevy of acts across genres. As he kept writing and recording music, he couldn’t help but hold on to certain tunes for himself. They felt a little too close to his heart as he reflected on the ups and downs of childhood, the loss of his mom, and how he got here.He fashioned those songs into his 2024 self-titled full-length debut album, Søren Hansen [ENCI Records].“I never thought I would be on stage ever again,” he states. “Suddenly, I started getting the urge. I created some songs I really loved, and I was proud enough of this music to want to play it live. That was the whole reason for getting into this project—to process all of those thoughts. There were things I was sorry about and things I was happy about. Finally, there was a place I could put them. Even if it was merely a folder on my desktop, that was enough for me. It was incredible to go back and be an artist again.”For Søren, music served as an anchor in the midst of a turbulent childhood in Denmark. By his high school graduation, he had lived in 13 different places and attended eight different schools. As the perennial “new kid,” bullies often targeted him. In fifth grade, he received a small keyboard as a gift from the family of a friend. At 18-years-old, a guy in a bar approached him and said, “You look like a singer.” A few beers later, he started singing alongside his new buddy and recognized his latent talent.Leaving home, he studied jazz piano in Greece for a year before settling in Copenhagen for the next eight years. He landed a major label deal as part of New Politics, and a whirlwind ensued. The group notched a global hit in the form of “Harlem,” garnering a platinum certification, landing dozens of syncs, and even soundtracking a trailer for the Disney mega-hit Frozen. They canvased North America with everyone from Fall Out Boy and Paramore to P!nk in addition to tallying hundreds of millions of streams.
