A Political Christmas Spectacle with Beldon Haigh’s Signature Edge On ‘White House Meltdown Christmas Day’
Beldon Haigh’s ‘White House Meltdown Christmas Day’ is the perfect antidote to cookie-cutter holiday songs, delivering a biting, satirical punch wrapped in glittering festive cheer. From the very first line, the song sets the stage for an audacious and laugh-out-loud parody, featuring Donald Trump reveling in his “biggly” accomplishments alongside his equally infamous pals, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. The lyrics are sharp, irreverent, and brilliantly prophetic, making the track feel as much like a political commentary as a festive anthem.
Musically, the band masterfully channels the grandeur of the 1970s Christmas classics, with soaring melodies, rich instrumentation, and a chorus that’s impossible not to sing along with. Lines like “We’re gonna have a White House Meltdown Christmas Day” are both absurdly catchy and surprisingly poignant, reflecting the chaos and humor of modern geopolitics. The production is lush and vibrant, capturing the spirit of the season while delivering a hefty dose of sardonic wit.
The accompanying video is a true tour de force, transforming the White House into a gaudy winter wonderland. Trump-themed baubles and a custom tree-topper set the scene for a surreal holiday gathering, as the trio of authoritarian leaders squabble over games and gifts, culminating in a farcical argument about the big red (nuclear) button. The chaotic energy is perfectly punctuated by a cameo from Boris Johnson, who storms in to smash a cake, leaving a lasting impression of holiday hilarity.
Beldon Haigh has once again proven their ability to combine humor, storytelling, and musicianship into a uniquely compelling package. After a year of hits like Elected and a stellar run with their rock opera Dystopia, this Christmas cracker feels like a victory lap for a band at the top of their game. With its mix of festive fun and razor-sharp satire, White House Meltdown Christmas Day is a holiday anthem for our times—bold, brilliant, and unforgettably entertaining.
Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
