Mariah didn’t invent the vocative case. Xmas songs have embraced love, esp. that certain someone especial since time 19th C or so. Let’s address him 0r her 0r xhey in the spirit range from groveling to anhedonia. (Not a lot of kidding around this month.)
R+B “All I Need Is You (Santa I’m Beggin’)” is Aryah losing her poop over the object of her affection. There’s dignity, then there’s diggity.
“All I Need This Christmas (Interlude)” puts more soul into the R+B. You’re all I need, vamps Dallas Rodin.
Bamtone tries for the two-way street declaring a pop “All I Want” if you want it to. Almost country two step, almost dance club.
French popster Cimrya Deal also wants you to know “All I Want“. Rocking bebop emphases the need.
A product of the Pandemic, Jamie Jones (feat. Pau)’s “All I Want” twists up R+B into tortuous pop with a dash of disco. It’s a frenetic longing.
