Isle of Ease’s Don't You Know You're Here (feat. Justin Strong)

Music
Written By Robert Hiscock

St.John’s-based Isle of Ease (aka Dan McLean and Adam Billard) have made some pretty compelling pop songs in their career (check out 2020’s Near You).

In 2018 they turned their attention to the holiday season recorded ‘Don’t You Know You’re Here’ — a track they describe as being created ‘during a deep state of festive delusion.’

Deluded or not, with the help of Justin Strong they crafted an engaging pop song. It’s laidback, cool and worth adding to your holiday playlists.

More Christmas and Holiday Music from Newfoundland & Labrador

Stay tuned for more great Christmas songs from Newfoundland and Labrador.

I'm a big fan of traditional Christmas music, I love to hear a modern rendition of a 300 year old carol but, occasionally, a brand new song comes to my attention and dominates my Christmas listening. Newfoundland and Labrador's musicians have been holding their own in both regards. I’ll be sharing local songs —both old and new— from now until Christmas in my 2022 NL Music Advent Calendar.
