Canadian pop-rock veteran Lawrence Gowan – who has fronted Styx since 1999 – has taken the wraps off “Can You Make It Feel Like Christmas.”
The brand new song, written by Gowan, was recorded with Toronto al-rock groups Stuck On Planet Earth.
“I wanted to capture the essence of the holiday spirit, while at the same time acknowledging the impact of 2020 and the fact that this will be a Christmas like no other,” explained Gowan. “A song that expressed both the good vibes and cheer that people associate with this time of year, and the creative, resilient ways of making those feelings and traditions come to life despite the exceptional challenges.”
The 64-year-old singer, who had hits in the ‘80s like “A Criminal Mind,” “Moonlight Desires” and “(You’re a) Strange Animal,” said Stuck On Planet Earth “brought the perfect attitude and temperament to the song.”
