Holiday Wishes by Idina Menzel #o2o
This is probably going to turn into 2 reviews, one from the kids and one from myself.
As far as my take on the album. I love it. I will be playing this throughout the season and for many more years. It has a classic sound and the songs she chose really are the best, they are mostly well known, which doesn't always happen on albums. Most of the time there are 2 or 3, 4 if you are lucky, even on a Christmas album, that you like and the rest you just skip on through. I really liked Baby, Its Cold Outside which is a duet with Michael Bublé . It really sounds like they worked well together and are truly having a good time. The song is such a fun song. I saw the video recently and it is adorable....seriously, go check it out! Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is one of those songs that I hear and instantly think of friends and family I have lost. There are some versions of the song that I love and others, not so much. There are certain parts in the song that I hear sung a certain way, in the versions I love, and I will admit I love the version on this album! The song in general is probably my favorite holiday song.
I would have to say that Holiday Wishes is a great holiday album. The whole thing is full of great lyrics and the voice does so much for even the simplest songs.
Let me know if you have the album already? Or have heard it?
Make sure to pick up a copy for yourself and this would be a really good gift for any holiday lovers and Frozen fans!
