SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, November 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- House of Buneau unveils “Deck the Halls,” a cinematic reimagining of the classic carol shaped through the lens of Velvet Realism — a movement blending Dark Disco, Cinematic Soul, and Theatrical Art-Pop. Built on a modern trap pulse and soul-driven vocal performance, the track transforms a familiar holiday melody into a dramatic, emotionally charged experience designed to live far beyond the season itself.

Rather than treating the carol as a traditional, once-a-year moment, House of Buneau recognized its cinematic potential — the hard percussive “D,” the dramatic melodic arc, and the inherent theatricality embedded in the melody. “Deck the Halls” is expanded into a complete song, featuring a newly written chorus, an original bridge, and a high-energy dance break that reframes the festive classic with modern edge and emotional weight.

“I was drawn to the hard ‘D’ in Deck — it hits like percussion,” says House of Buneau. “The melody is already cinematic, so I expanded it: a new chorus, a bridge, and a dance break. It’s Cinematic Soul over a trap beat, with a chopped-and-screwed bridge that bends time. I wanted it to feel like the moment you get up, start decorating, and the whole room shifts. That’s Velvet Realism — here and there, all existing on one hand of the clock.”

The production weaves warm soul textures with sharp modern percussion, creating a track that feels festive yet shadowed, elegant yet rhythmic. The chopped-and-screwed bridge serves as a Velvet Realism time-warp — slowing the world before snapping it back into motion, a duality central to the movement’s philosophy of emotional glamour and contrast.

Designed to make listeners move, “Deck the Halls” invites an experience rather than a moment — a track to dance to, decorate to, and shift the energy of a room with. More than a holiday release, it becomes a seasonal ritual, a blend of tradition and reinvention that aligns precisely with Velvet Realism’s cinematic identity.
