Description
Kylie Minogue's "Kylie Christmas," released on November 13, 2015, is a festive album that showcases the pop icon's versatility and charm. This holiday-themed collection features a mix of classic Christmas carols, contemporary holiday songs, and a few original tracks, all delivered with Kylie's signature style and flair. The album is a delightful addition to the holiday music canon, offering a blend of nostalgia and modern pop sensibilities.
The album opens with "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," a classic holiday tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Kylie's rendition is joyful and upbeat, capturing the spirit of the season with her bright and cheerful vocals. This is followed by "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," a duet with the late Frank Sinatra. Through the magic of technology, Kylie's voice is seamlessly blended with Sinatra's, creating a charming and timeless version of the song.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Christmas Isn't Christmas 'Til You Get Here," an original song co-written by Kylie. This track has a catchy melody and heartfelt lyrics, making it a potential new holiday favorite. Another original, "Every Day's Like Christmas," was penned by Coldplay's Chris Martin and features a more contemporary pop sound. The song's production is lush and festive, with Kylie's vocals perfectly capturing the joy and warmth of the holiday season.
Kylie also puts her own spin on several well-known Christmas songs. Her version of "Winter Wonderland" is playful and energetic, while "Let It Snow" is delivered with a jazzy, big-band feel. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is another highlight, with Kylie's tender and emotive performance bringing out the song's nostalgic and comforting qualities.
The album also includes some unexpected collaborations. Iggy Pop joins Kylie on "Christmas Wrapping," a cover of The Waitresses' 1981 hit. Their duet is fun and quirky, with Iggy's distinctive voice adding a unique twist to the track. Another notable collaboration is with British comedian and actor James Corden on "Only You," a cover of the Yazoo classic. Their voices blend beautifully, creating a tender and heartfelt rendition of the song.
"Kylie Christmas" received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Kylie's vocal performances and the album's festive spirit. Some critics noted that while the album doesn't break new ground, it succeeds in delivering a joyful and entertaining holiday experience. The production quality is high, with lush arrangements and a polished sound that complements Kylie's vocals.
In terms of commercial performance, "Kylie Christmas" charted well in several countries, reaching the top 10 in the UK and Australia. The album's success led to a reissue in 2016, titled "Kylie Christmas: Snow Queen Edition," which included additional tracks and new recordings.
Culturally, "Kylie Christmas" adds to the tradition of pop artists releasing holiday albums, a trend that has been popular for decades. Kylie's contribution stands out due to her unique voice and the blend of classic and contemporary elements. The album's mix of traditional carols, modern pop songs, and original compositions offers something for everyone, making it a versatile addition to any holiday playlist.
