Manuel Joseph Walker’s solo project, Foliage (stylized as ❀ Foliage ❀), is an exploration of modern production, synths, and the modern revival of 80’s electro-pop. Winter (I’m Still Waiting), a holiday track in the tradition of Last Christmas by Wham or Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney, honors both the season and his musical style.
Clean beats, chimes, and his airy vocals combine to paint a picture of a clear winter day as he waits for his loved ones, both those who can’t be with him for whatever reason this holiday. You can almost see his breath crystalize in the air as he looks out on an open field of snow in his vaporwave-inspired snow suit and moon boots. A fitting way to honor the people we care for whether they are near or far.
