solo for this one. Having
spent a lot of time at
Westminster Choir College in
my wayward youth, I'd have
to say that I'd love to hear this
one performed in one of the
many beautiful chapels of
Princeton, NJ. This is my
favorite, thus far on this
album. GET IT NOW.
Inches From Sin – Jingle
Jangle Jingle 3:34 - I don't
know about you, but this
song made me feel dirty.
Dirty in a good way. Merry
Christmas, baby. I think it's
the groovy bass line that
made me feel dirty, but then
again it could be due to some
kinky-risque lyrics and
crunchy lead guitar. Why
don't you have a listen and
see if you feel the same?
STEEL ft. Bubu The
Producer – Have A Gigolo
XMAS ! 5:00 - You know,
my experience with Gigolos is pretty limited. "Elementary Gigolo'in." I can't make this up. This
song is right up there with the famed, "Dominick The Donkey" in terms of memorable-ness and
holiday spirit. Honest. This could be my family's new tradition. Clever, witty, and well worded;
GO HAVE YOURSELF A GIGOLO XMAS!
Tammi T & Keith Hines Production – Go Wish 3:32 - Pump it up, baby! Tammi T has a
sweet, soulful voice. I love it. Strong melody, excellent production, this is a great tune and
Tammi sends it home with her beautiful voice. This is a fun song with a message of hope.
The vocal bridges featuring diverse harmonic elements really help to create drama and
tension before the last choruses. Amazing track. Have you bought this album yet? Come
on!
Ysanne ft. ZanZclan – Christmas In The Sun 3:32 - Great melody, great reggae feel, this is a
grooving song with stellar writing and keen arrangement and yes, Virginia there is a steel drum
in this one. Haven't you ever wanted to have a Christmas in the Sun and find a new special
someone after being dumped by someone on Christmas in the snow?? Well, if yes, then GET
THIS SONG. If not, then get this whole album and by the time you get to this song, you'll feel
the sentiment in your heart. I'm still grooving to it and I'm not even in the sun right now.
