Alabaster dePlume has shared a new song, “Gifts Of Olive”. The song references the Palestinian writer Refaat Alareer, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza earlier this month at age 44, alongside his brother, sister, and four of her children.

Alabaster DePlume shared this about the track:
“At this specific time, may I reach you with appreciation, for I admire you for living, and I come to tell you I believe in you. I have faith in you. You are humanity and this time is in your hands. You survive moment by moment, while crimes are committed against you. And there is no state that can defeat you, no nation state, authority, project nor organisation on this earth can ultimately deny you, humanity. I am reaching to you with my love, and this little Christmas song, where at this time I feel grief. In case it voices a grief for you too, I love you.”
