Marlete Volz’s movies are homemade, but a big sore point. “All Christmas Does” is remind her you’re gone. Barely hanging in there vocals over slow symphonic pop.
Keyla is more convincing with her sultry snarling R+B “My Christmas Blues“. Even with enough movies and cookies, joy not gonna happen. He gotta come home. Damn.
Niquio claims there’s “More To Christmas” than presents and movies. His soaring pop diva delivery makes me believe. Hand me the remote.
Josefine Luna traps a childhood memory in amber with her breathy country/pop “Christmas Day“. Movies on repeat may have more to do with her upbringing than the season, sadly.
Jake Hadrick dutifully synthesizes out the list of wintry attributes (movies!) in a sort of rap for “A Christmas to Remember“. What was i talking about again?
More confidently Teauxbba childchants “Ho-Ho-Host a Christmas Party“. I wouldn’t say no; sounds fun. And the movies are for inspiration, not a party activity.
Haylee Joe would prefer to ditch the overplayed movies for a better Xmas treat: a big man. Overplayed–albeit calm–flirty pop delivers “Santa, Did You Get My Letter?”
AI to the rescue! Eh I By brings us “Christmas Movie Nights“, where we’re back to title-dropping with morals attached. Country rock of the boot scooting sort.
AI squirrels around the idea of a “Christmas Rodeo” until we get a mischievous exploration of elf downtime. Electronic country pop supposedly by Trinity Jones.
In “Santa’s Rodeo Dream” AI hoots and hollers the country rock so know what bronc busting must feel like. Epic Powers Potion goes for it.
Sandra Tingalay gets quieter (with harmonica) for a better AI “Rodeo Christmas.” Recognizably country western.
Well, if it’s a “Christmas in the Honky Tonk” there’s gotta be a jukebox. Even AI knows that. Follow along with Dakimo’s honky tonk tune and see yer own self. Even there “Silent Night in the Bar” says the same thing, this time with torchy country.
An old truck, whispering pines, a jukebox… must be “A Country Christmas” in AI land, so S.O.M. Mobile Disco sez. That smeary tinny vocals and that hint of western music, you’re all set.
More AI from Jingle Bots really hollering the CW about the jukebox playin’ all night long. No real trouble though for the “Rockin’est Christmas.”
Apparently the AI of Taylor Mackenzie Love’s “Rockin’ Christmas Night” figures the jukebox is a home edition. No sticky bar at all. Only watered down CW.
GranDilusionist adds a cowboy quality to the AI CW for “Last Call on Christmas Eve.” Here the juke plays only for the lonely.
“The Christmas Jukebox” ostensibly by Bobby Baxton stinks of CW AI, but it delivers the message: colors, lights, action.
Stephen Cuthbert will be your “Hot Water Bottle” when it’s winter and Christmas and cold. But, then he offers to be your tissue whenever you’re sneezing. No! Not right! Too far! Syncopated country.
Tom Brusky is worried about sick days when he countrifies “Santa, Don’t Sneeze!” Let’s keep it silent, with a finger up the nose.
Niboyeang, Atsadakorn Kapookkham bring the mood way down with their bummer of a “Christmas Violin Elegy.” This AI crankyfest isn’t just somber and reverent, it’s a pop crying jag.
Nancy Williams is sick for “Home,” especially when her alt pop wends her past a street busker on violin for the holidays. Better music. More seasonal depression.
More AI from Harmonix Synthesis applies a klezmer-like aura over the folk pop of “Shine This Christmas.” Nearly a waltz, who can resist?
Faylin, Pasoed Saichaem pair strings with percussion in their “Jingle Bell Christmas Bell Ring.” It’s soaring pop so stand back.
Melanie Anne Padernal & Sheena Santamaria play with rap at their “Filipino Christmas Party.” One of the standout traditions is… Talent Show for the whole ding dong group (someone’s gonna play a violin! you just know it!)! That was fun.
“Processional: ‘A Christmas Roundelay’” is a hoe down in chorale coating. Alternating verses honor the angels and tune the violin–for dancin’! Baptist College of Ministry Concert Chorale makes a mountain out of this morsel.
Rock returns with “Winter of Our Discontent,” Sanford’s poison penned plaintive to the pain and pestilence of Papa Noel’s perturbations. (…carols are screeched out on that old violin.)
“I Want A Violin For Christmas” is Steven John Tillotson (feat. Isabelle Glenn) mashing country and pop into disharmony and headache inducing high notes. Enjoy!
Silly little ones! Andre Nickatina · Equipto rap “Eye’s Of A Child” about all those dumb things they deduce from visual experience. Including catching you-know-who. Sounds like someone’s got a hard-knock life.
Lil Fashoti may have caught Santa in Vegas like Tupac, but he keeps shooting deer in his swaying and synth-drunk “Chrimuh Time.” Wake up!
Jamie O’Neal thinks she caught Santa swimming in a red Speedo down in the “Gulf of Mexico.” Jazzy country about Xmas down South.
Sometimes seeing ol’ Nick is the problem. There he is on T.V., there he is in the store, there he is at the urinal… Richard Melvin Brown reprises “Who is the Real Santa Claus?” to compound the matter with easy listening pop.
Believe it or not, Professor Steve saw Santa “Last Night.” You know it’s true ‘cuz he sings folk about it.
