Chromonicci mashes a Mel Torme sound with a hip hopping backbeat for “Wonderful Christmas.” Tree decoration and hot apple cider pair well, it is sung, with Christmas movies all night. Well, that depends….
When “Every Month Is Christmas” Jonathan R Holman, Mureka figure the movies roll in around November. I guess AI is easily fooled in this pop torment. Those films roll out: All. Year. Long.
In the “Letter To Santa” We Love Christmas get R+B rapping cozy with all the accoutrement (movies, yeah)–but they still want more. I don’t.
The Bingle Jells (feat. Andrew Lloyd Baughman) daub a dismal picture of a “Latchkey Kid At Christmas“. Guess you could watch movies…. Grandly dismal slow pop, mocked with brass. Cool cool cool.
“Darling, It’s Cold Out” by Cassiøpeia is a pining portrait of indie needs that may be blaming holiday romcoms on the need for winter romancing. Breathy ultralight pop with a bossa nova beat.
Electronic queer pop from Europe sets OIOIOIO to redo “Parson Brown” as a reaching sooo hard for the rhyme poem of inconsequence. (He’s hosting his Christmas party by showing movies!)(Snicker!)
Christmas movies they move me, avers Lachlan Ondre (feat. Lyn) in the R+B on again rap off again “The Bells Ring“. Pedestrian, yet i can’t help but clap along.
“Merry Christmas To You” sings Aaron Layne with the usual suspects of nog, movies, carols. But the jazz band shtick fronted by a strong uke line sells me.
“A Christmas Film” from Canvas: the human is a rollercoaster of feelings and scenes in a rock genre. Problems with the third act….
Keepers of the Stars compulsively title-drop in the percussively pop “Christmas at the Movies” so much that you begin to wonder if these are lyrics or Mad Libs. Antic.
The Meanwhile rock “Christmas at the Movies” much harder, but their overview includes Gremlins, Ernest, and Muppets. Rock ON.
Troy and Lyric cook sample here there and everywhere for the popping “Christmas at the Movies“. It encompasses all the catharses of the season. Phew.
Christmas certainly is a circus, that is a roundabout that seems to never end (for me!!).
“It’s Christmas At The Circus” ia kid song with colorful characters from Magic of Christmas Singers. Scary like clowns, boring like three rings.
Billy Lilly and Friends is even more eerie with “Christmas in the Circus.” This alt folk jangler does indeed go round and round.
Gossip Wolf And The Fox ante the up with their “Midnight Circus,” collected on a Christmas album but perhaps not really about December dealings. Yet, up is up.
The magic of December’s like a circus leaving town, Colbie Caillat (feat. Jason Reeves) express in “Every Day Is Christmas.” Not clear how well circuses come off here, but it IS a love song. A country pop love song.
Little known fact, when The Nativity occurred “The Birds Go a-Caroling“–including owls, jays, and some wacky woodpecker on a drum. All Together Now make an antique instrument folk meal out of this. Birds is the words.
L&R commit to a lively rap with “Our Caroling Song.” Goofy with a great bass line.
Listen, listen, command Katy and Kiki when the “Carol Singers” swoop in. If you can, i guess, you should clap your hands and stomp your feet. Oh, it’s a kid song.
“Our Carol” is James Harland-Wright’s love ballad in three-quarter handclapping woohooing pop. Not something to spread around the neighborhood.
Jack Martian is playing it cool when he tells the “Caroler” at his not to cry. It’s all just make believe. Apt for the indie blues here, but freezing proselytizers don’t wanna hear that.
BLUE ALERT! Dollar Signs is drunk and alone, so–time to become a “Caroler“! It doesn’t end well, but the rushed indie folk indicates thusly. Altogether now: ralph!
Ricky Mirage synths thoughtful pop about those “Merry Carolers.” Let them in! he orders. Nicely done.
Let’s ask AI: Choralbeatpeople · Christmas Crooners · The Holiday Voices are credited with the whistling pop of “Together We’re Caroling.” Danceable, but does this sound like a high schooler’s story?
Almost too strange, “See the Carolers (In the Dark)” features Doreen Pinkerton on an old timey player pianer, caterwauling gospel-lite about seeing in the dark. Huh?
Finally, David M’s Ironic Acronym gets absurd with Carol “Caroling.” Aggressively pop folk, but brace yourself for the nasal lyrics. Wha-?
No law says to the Christmas singers have to be dull as dirty snow. Let’s have fun with the choir.
Asking you to join the Christmas choir, Ester Brohus jacks gospel into the bluegrass “When It’s Christmas.” More interactive, more joyful.
More melodic, Patti Page makes a round out of her “Christmas Choir.” 1955 pop. More dizzy for me.
Seemingly unimpressed, Lennon and pj plonk their way through another indie observation of late December. Choirs are just another unavoidable incursion. Fun drinking game, every time they sing “Its christmas” take a drink–of milk! Look, i dunno if they’re horsing around here, but i dig this.
Sad and alone, Amelie Jat cheesies the pop of “Christmas Before.” None of that stuff matters now. When she hears the choir, she won’t look for you at her front door. I guess the opposite happened regularly or something the love police should look into.
Christmas choirs singing/But my heart feels cold tonight, complain Boogie, Beats’n BBQ (feat. Alice Menotti Monro). “The Ghost Of Us (Only You)” is AI country pop of whispering whimpering.
Also The Marijanovic mopes in sniffling, dramatic pop about missing his “Christmas Kiss.” The choirs will be happy, but he won’t. So there.
Lovelorn Jonathan Meur indie moans that the choirs are mere echoes when hanging out in Manhattan, during “December By The Isle Of You.” Fancy wordplay for a Frenchman.
Busted up, Jonny Phillips cries out how the choirs through Zoom don’t help. This is just “Another Kind Of Christmas.” Pandemic messed with this poor boy. Emotive pop.
Muy tragic, Nathan Samuel gasps out how The Christmas choirs/Ain’t singing “NOT this year.” This is pretty tragic missing you stuff. Kinda folk.
Angry agendas are hidden in “Wise Men from the East.” Timi Tamminen copies and mocks all the headlines from the 2020s, like Ayatollah Khamenei joins the Christmas choir. War time! Amusingly pedestrian punk pop.
Oddly impersonating ‘Wonderful World,’ Astrid Allegra’s “A Wonderful Time” notes all the fixtures of the holidays, including choirs natch. Pleasant parody.
The “Christmas Day Care Choir (Falala)” from The Crying Day Care Choir questions the validity of the Xmas icons. By whose Authority! Fun folk sing-along.
“Fairytale of New York” features a choir of NYPD cops serenading the drunk tank, and we’ve heard that before. BUT… have we heard it from Gregorian (the chant group)? Well, sadly, we’ve heard the rock background before. Wish they’d lose that.
On the other alto, “Christmas Without a Choir” is not like Christmas at all. Chris Avison carries on with the easy listening to posit his logic. It takes a while.
I guess you don’t have to alive to celebrate. The “Spectral Christmas Choir“–according to AI–or at least Girard, conjure carols from the grave. Now the zombies, take the pop chorus!
