Christmas Countdown: 365 &

You know what else is endless (365 days a year)? Besides Christmas?! It’s love. Or it should be.

D Heywood’s simple metaphor is love = Christmas. But the weird heavy organ and cavernous echo on the vocals makes “365 Days of the Year (Christmas)” an R+B train wreck. It’s the thought that counts. Is what we say when the words don’t add up.

Pop bubblegum says the romance! Stella Roya (feat. Brysun) has ended years of loneliness when she got “Xmas with You.” Cute as babies! Then auto-tune rap spoils it all.

NeeNa Lee thinks “Every Day Should be Christmas” since Tis the season that we fall in love. Smooth soul seals the sentiment with a silky sizzle.

With more bounce, Nicole Mullen would love for Christmas to stay “365” days, since Love would be the gift we gave 365 days. Party R+B, but intimate as heck.
