I'm loving this one too - that's three on the trot I've really enjoyed. B-)

 

I don't think I will be listening to the covers but these originals I'm really enjoying and that's on first listen. :wub:

Album reviews: Robbie Williams – The Christmas Present and Harry Nilsson – Losst and Founnd https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertai...n-a9212186.html

 

Two stars from the Independent.

 

Original Christmas songs are essentially a no-go for most artists, and in this case, Williams would have been much better releasing a single album of covers that stuck lovingly to the classics, as he did with the swing records.

 

I couldn't agree less with this bit.

I dont' agree with it either , Robbie is never afraid to try something new , he's never safe & predictable which is exactly why I like him ...

 

Time For Change is not my favourite song on the album , there are so many to choose from, so far one of my favourites is Darkest Night ..

Rudolph is my favourite song on the album & should have been the lead single on the album, it's beautiful , love everything about it ...

The melody to Snowflakes has the Beatles When I'm 64 feel to it

 

A grower is this one ...

 

three of how many?

 

Five Elisabeth. So medium - neither bad nor great

I have to say I'm doing a bit of a 360 here. :lol:

 

So I listened to a lot of the originals last night and they did click with me. I LOVED the lyrics. I thought them very beautiful and contemporary and they touched me.

 

This morning I asked Alexa to play the album while In was doing the housework and his voice on some of the classics is gorgeous. Clear, warm and beautiful.

 

I'm enjoying the originals because there is no rapping that he always veers towards on his albums. I can hear Guy's influence and I like it.

 

I'm not so keen on the swing or flipping Santa Baby but on first listen - the originals and the slower classics are sublime and so many tracks to pick from. :wub:

 

I think I could really enjoy this album. :)

I really love Rudolph too but like Time for Change too - a choice between the two I think.

Rudolph is brilliant. Can't stop listening to it. So catchy.

 

His Poppa can't sing can he? :D

Edited by common sense

Yep, I admitted that I'm against covers and even more - I was against Santa Baby since we had just seen this track into a tracklist.

 

But... to be fair I should let you know that I'm actually liking Santa Baby version on the album :)

 

p.s. Yes, I'm dealing with LP 1 for a while :) I decided to safe LP2 for the second part of winter tme - don't want to mix everything.
