Émile Gruff lightens up Christmas

In 2020, back in the dark ages of Christmas, Émile Gruff (aka Daniel Laflamme) gave himself a big present by releasing the Christmas song 'Illumination', featuring singer Marie-Claudel and with the help of Max Lalanne and others. The resulting magic is a slow burn about not having enough money for Christmas. Some stuff is cheap or free like dreaming, beer, hope, listening to free music in the shops where germs are also free. The latter will take some explanation in a few decades.

Hailing from Montréal, Québec, Émile Gruff sings, "Christmas is a blank page that we're obliged to colour in every year. Some people have a nice set of colour crayons, while others only have a pencil. To make a nice drawing, you only need imagination."
