Whether you love or loathe Christmas music, it’s that time of year. We have the top five Christmas albums that keep the party going, have you reminiscing, romanticizing or simply sitting down to take it all in. Check out the top picks.
Boyz II Men – Christmas Interpretations: When “Let it Snow” flowed through the speakers, we all didn’t
mind that snow endlessly coming down. Play one song from this album and someone will have a blissful
smile on their face, thanks to the memories of this classic album. Securing a strong appreciation from all
generations, this collection will add a comforting touch to any holiday gathering.
Mariah Carey – Merry Christmas: Mimi brought the lighthearted romance back to the holidays with “All I Want for Christmas,” the feel good song that stands the test of time. There are many classics that highlight Carey's amazing octave range. This album is great for those who may not be ready to jump on the holiday music bandwagon just yet. With Mimi’s voice and the classic tunes, you will be singing along in no time.
TFerg’s Pick Michael Bublé – Christmas: With ballads, some big band and everything in between, this album is the epitome of Christmas. Bublé’s velvety voice will get you in the holiday spirit in an instant. The album is packed with classics and an original song written by Bublé and his pianist. He also covers Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas”. This collection is noted as one of the greatest holiday albums of all time.
Josh Groban – Noel: This album is beautiful, hands down. It does a couple of things. Due to Groban’s surreal voice it can silence a room and make anyone sit down and just listen and it is also very relaxing.
This is the best kept secret for that holiday gathering with the family member that talks a bit too much.
Just turn it up a little louder, and most will stop and say “wow that is beautiful” see subject changed that fast. Groban’s interpretation of the classics will bring a smile to your soul.
Holiday Remixed - Reworked Classics and Originals from the Mistletoe Lounge: Mixed with both classic and original holiday songs, this album is the must have for that swanky, trendy holiday event. The songs are a mixture of house, lounge, and nu jazz that will keep you grooving through the holidays.
Wish List We would love to hear J-Hud’s interpretation of some Christmas Classics.
