Lots of radio music is dull as dishwater, what we used to call ‘rutabaga radio.’
Radio songs is only one item on the unrolling list of “My Favorite Time of the Year” when Cree Turner litters this rap R+B with cliches. Not a fun snapshot so much as a catalogue cut out.
“Christmas Carol Dream“–this very song–is on the radio for ArachnoVobicA. But its growly, disjointed ethnic folk might make you miss it over the sound of the wipers.
Marion Meadows plays “Christmas on the Radio” as if it were the all Kenny Loggins station. Soul cum-pop.
Jingle Bots return us to the thrilling days of AI with their “Christmas Blue,” a bluesy rap that seems to sing a different song than the radio plays. Or is that translation error?
Kenny’s romantic breakthrough line is Can we stay in cause it’s cold/Hear Christmas songs on the radio. But the smeary R+B modulation of “A Christmas Story” is impenetrable.

Dad band with boy band sound, The Modern Gentlemen “Make It Feel Like Christmas” with snow angels, Christmas carols on the radio, yada yada yada.

“Christmas Time for Everyone” by More Than Words is country-like again with silly sentimental observations: a Christmas carol on the radio. Yawn.
More AI and driving in “With My Family” credited to Weylan. He’s singing along to the radio, as one does. But the pop country deadens the sing-along quality.

Wh1t is into Singing songs on the radio/To our King “This Christmas.” The voice goes gospel, but the music stays tepid R+B. Keep up.
More “Christmas Sweaters” get rapped over by Maya Miko (feat. John Galea & Morna). The tree, the radio, the shows–all fill the breathless gaps in this storm of rhyming.
