Shopping is not my favourite thing to do, so I thought I’d write about it x

Here’s how the track 'Let’s Not Go Shopping' from my new album 'The Christmas Present' came to be.

I'm far far far more interested in his own songs - I'm really not interested in the 100th version of Santa Baby. <_<

 

Hanging on for the originals……

 

Otherwise I'll just accept this isn't the album for me and wait for the next one ^_^

 

 

Just heard CD1 - Past!

 

Sorry for spoilers in advance!

 

Some my notes from the first time:

1. Robbie should be more brave and throw away all covers at all!! All originals on CD Past are much better than covers, excluding...

2. ...The Christmas Song (Chesnuts Roasting...). Since One For My Baby songs with piano sound great with him. It's a good cover.

3. My favourite song on Past album is One Last Christmas. He sounds just like Elvis there. Great song. It could be an instant Xmas Number 1 before streaming era.

4. Best Christmas Ever could be a great anthem for families at the Eve. And it could be Gary Barlow song. Beautiful one. Also Robbie's voice sounds rather young here - i'd say like in Escapology period.

5. I'd prefer to see and hear Let's Not Go Shopping as the opening track of this album - there is a beautiful intro and it would do the beginning of the album much more richer. Mr Chris Briggs, can you hear me? ;)

6. Rudolph is one the best for years and very smart using some samples in it.

7. You can recognise a children's choir in every third song and I like it.

8. Good mood and wonderful new songs: they are mostly with retro sounding but defenetily all of them have a festive mood.

9. Very good duet with his dad! I can hear it's follower to the swing song from Under The Radar Vol.2. He uses the same basis for that. 'Merry Christmas, papa!'

10. Big band and orchestra is 10/10.

 

So, my verdict: it's exactly what I thought about CD1. Talented mix between swing and festive sounding for new songs. And not so exciting about covers: I'd say on two of them (Winter Wonderland, for example) Rob sounds... very lazy. Thanks God they are only few on it.

Xmas is coming!

 

 

 

CD2 - Future will be in my ears tomorrow!

The songs are done with care. Lots of playfulness and Robbies vocals are the best in years. :yahoo:

 

Haven't got through all of them yet becouse Im replaying previous songs. One Last Christmas, Time for change and The darkest night sound great on the first listen.

Thank you for the reviews. :)

 

Haven't got mine yet - looking forward to listening tomorrow.

Thanks fr the reviews, I will download the album tonight , I find your 'lazy' observation Alex but not unexpected, Robbie is inclined to do that with songs he is very familiar with..

 

The covers I have heard so far do have a nice feel to them , love the choir , gives it a real Xmas'y feel ...

 

 

Robbie somehow in his head thinks that people do not want to hear new material when he performs live which I find hugely disappointing as a fan , let's hope he gets a bit braver

 

Has anyone heard Time for Change yet !!

 

so many songs... it's unusual sense when you can choose any of songs to hear and listen the album/s as you want.

that's why there are so many feelings, bridges and thoughts what I could say.

 

For example, the verses of this bonus track remind me Take That of 90s, while a chorus is classic Rob and bridge is The Beatles' Sgt Pepper.
