Review: Falling for 'Cupid Christmas' - Justine Blazer’s Holiday Hit with Heart


Justine Blazer’s “Cupid Christmas,” featuring 2am Ricky, is a lively and heartwarming holiday tune that seamlessly blends country-pop and hip-hop with a retro doo-wop flair. From the very first note, the song radiates festive cheer, driven by bright guitar riffs and upbeat jingles that instantly immerse listeners in the holiday spirit.


Originally from Detroit, MI, and now based in Nashville, TN, Justine’s multifaceted vocals shine throughout the track, showcasing her impressive range and versatility. Her voice effortlessly transitions from sweet and airy on the softer verses to bold and commanding on the more upbeat, energetic sections of the song. She brings a warmth to the track that is both inviting and celebratory, perfectly matching the joyful atmosphere of Christmas. Her ability to switch between soft, intimate moments and powerful, soaring highs adds depth and emotion to the song, making it feel both nostalgic and fresh.


Justine's vocal delivery is filled with playful charm, particularly in the catchy chorus: “We're mistletoein', good times flowin' and the magic's just begun/Cause it's a Cupid Christmas, if there ever was.” Her voice dances through these lyrics, bringing a sense of lighthearted fun and effortless joy to the track.


The addition of 2am Ricky’s smooth rap verse brings an interesting contrast, blending modern urban flair with Justine’s classic vocal style. His laid-back delivery adds a layer of coolness to the song, making their back-and-forth dynamic even more engaging.


The song’s retro vibe is a key element of its charm, with a doo-wop-inspired backdrop that gives it a timeless feel. Justine’s vocals are perfectly suited to this nostalgic sound, evoking a sense of Christmases past while still feeling fresh and contemporary.


Justine has an extensive career that reflects her influence and talent. She’s shared the stage with prominent artists like Jason Aldean, Justin Moore, Lee Brice, Kathy Mattea, Regis Philbin, Lonestar, and Bucky Covington. Her exceptional artistry has earned endorsements from major brands like Luna Guitars, Dean Guitars, Ram Trucks, Chrysler Incorporated, Antares, RME, Pro Media Training, and Mojave Microphones.


Justine’s music and on-screen appearances extend her reach into television and film, with features on MTV's American Super Group, The Young and the Restless on CBS, and the Telly Award-winning movie Hashtag Blessed on Prime Video, Tubi, and Redbox. Her hit single "Good Trouble" was also prominently showcased on CMT and TCN.


“Cupid Christmas” is a delightful holiday track, making it a standout on any holiday playlist.
