So, we all have the Christmas Classics we listen to every year without fail. We've got Slade, Wizzard, Shakin Stevens, The Pogues, Cliff Richard, Mariah Carey and soooooo many more. In the past couple of years a few artists have released their own bunch of Christmas choons which I think in future will be considered the classics of our generation.
Heres a few of my favourite songs and albums which I love sticking on in the run up to Christmas.
The queen that is Kelly Clarkson released an album called Wrapped in Red which if you haven't heard, give it a listen as its so christmassy and it was playing over and over during Christmas day last year in my house. This year she has released the song Christmas Eve which includes some incredibly classy Kelly vocals and is a perfect modern Christmas classic. Really worth a listen.
Elbow's song Golden Slumbers is this years John Lewis advert. Although it had mixed reviews, I really love this years ad. How cute is Moz the Monster! The song has something so hauntingly beautiful about it which I have had on repeat lately and the advert brings a smile to my face everytime. I know its not technically a Christmas song but due to it being in the advert, you cant help but link to to this time of year.
A Very Kacey Christmas is a totally unique Christmas album by the amazing Kacey Musgraves, released last year. This is every country music lovers Christmas dream and when I listen to it I cant help but be full of Christmas joy! Its a mixture of original christmas songs written by Musgraves and some classics including one of my favourites, I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.
Now, Im not a big Leona Lewis fan but I do highly recommend her Christmas album Christmas With Love. Leona wrote the hit One More Sleep which is a super cute Christmas song that keeps popping up on my playlist. The album includes some amazing covers of big classics which Leona makes sound effortless with her incredible vocals.
Two brand new albums which I highly recommend purchasing for the festive season are Sia's Everyday is Christmas and Gwen Stefani's You Make It Feel Like Christmas.
Sia has created an album full of original Christmas songs which are so catchy, especially the current single Santa's Coming For Us. I think this is my new favourite as I have had it on repeat all month! It has some incredible vocals and some of the ballads on the album are lyrically beautiful. This is more than likely a Christmas album that will be played year after year.
Gwen Stefani has put together an album of covers and a brilliant brand new Christmas song called You Make It Feel Like Christmas featuring Blake Shelton. The album is a mixture of Stefani's fun pop sound with a special Christmassy touch, its so good. I love some of the covers she has done and this will definitely be playing on Christmas day.
So there you have it, some of the new favourites in my Christmas Playlists. Let me know down below if you have any other recommendations as I LOVE finding new Christmas songs.
Hope your having a lovely day.
