Gazette: Tired of the traditional? Here's 7 not overplayed Christmas songs to listen to
"The 21-year-old singer-songwriter Miki Ratsula has a small, but strong, following on YouTube, where she has for years shared covers, like Gotye’s “Somewhere Only We Know.” Her original acoustic music is even more worth listening to and that includes her latest release, 'Love in the Winter.' In a behind-the-scenes video, Ratsula said she wrote the holiday-themed love song, inspired by her girlfriend, in one night. This is my nomination for best lyric: '"Here comes December/perfect on time/season for kissing lips stained in red wine.'"

Operation Every Band, SXSW 2019, Miki Ratsula - "Captivate"
"Miki Ratsula embeds classic soul and R&B into her sound, but twists perspective through slightly hazy, minimal production. Ratsula is a bedroom pop artist with studied jazz instincts - while her music is bare, it is musically complex in both melody and form. The Californian singer-songwriter employs an equally subtle vocal, a low register croon built of melancholic precision."
