"Christmastime" by Nourallah Brothers

Nourallah Brothers return from a quarter-century of silence with a holiday single that feels both intimate and disarmingly fresh. Emerging once again from their El Paso roots, Faris and Salim step back into the spotlight not with grand gestures, but with a quiet confidence shaped by time, distance, and the irreplaceable rhythm of family. Their new song, “Christmastime,” announces their reunion in shimmering colors, carrying the unmistakable glow of two voices rediscovering each other after years apart. From the first notes, it becomes clear that the brothers’ harmonies still fit together like pieces of the same memory. Faris rises easily into bright, buoyant phrasings while Salim grounds the melody with warm, resonant undertones. The contrast between their vocal timbres creates a natural push and pull that evokes the tender friction of childhood—one reaching upward, the other holding steady—resulting in a sound that feels both lived-in and beautifully renewed.

What makes “Christmastime” so striking is its refusal to chase trends or spectacle. Instead, the brothers offer a song built on sincerity, crafted entirely by their own hands—writing, performing, and producing every detail. The track unfolds like a rediscovered keepsake: modest yet filled with feeling, drawing the listener into a world of soft lights, familiar scents, and the longing for connection that defines the season. Its simplicity becomes its strength, allowing emotion to take the lead. Lyrically, the single carries a quiet ache beneath its festive surface. Faris writes from a place of searching—a yearning for brightness after moments of shadow—while Salim’s deep appreciation for the song’s vintage charm adds a timeless sheen to the arrangement.

Together, they weave a narrative that captures not only the spirit of the holidays, but also the universal desire for renewal, hope, and the comfort of home. “Christmastime” stands as more than a seasonal release; it is a musical reconciliation. Nourallah Brothers channel their history, their differences, and their enduring love for creation into a track that feels like a gentle embrace after years of separation. Their return isn’t driven by ambition, but by joy—and that joy radiates through every note, offering listeners a rare glimpse into a reunion shaped by gratitude, memory, and the unmistakable magic of family.
