The second Christmas record of the year is a fact, thanks to the ever joyful Dolly Parton. It may be already the third festive season themed album in her career, but this time brother Randy, godchild Miley and her dad Billy Ray Cyrus, Michael Bublé, TV-icon Jimmy Fallon and Willie Nelson will join the party. After seasonal opener Carrie Underwood last week, it is starting to look a lot like a country flavoured Christmas time. Rumour has it, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer already signed up for line dance lessons online.
Although in his late fifties Jon Bon Jovi, his band and his hairdo still know how to sweep women off their feet. Their much-postponed album finally sees the daylight today.
From Iceland comes the chilly voice from Sigur Ros frontman Jonsi, from Ireland ex-Moloko female Roisin Murphy, from the UK DJ-duo Groove Armada and from France charmer Patrick Fiori. They will all be bidding for your heart, ears and dancing feet. Sporty Spice Melanie C proves that exercise is healthy since she’s the only Spice Girl still relevant in music these days.
Coïncidence or not? Also big in the nineties were all-male band Take That. Lead singer Gary Barlow relaunches his career today as well, ànd with a little help from…. Michael Bublé. Busy times for the latter concerning guest appearances, it seems.
Also, expect some interesting cool and inspiring new tracks from the likes of Romy (from The xx), Aloe Blacc, The Hunna, LANY, Johannes Oerding, M Pokora, Amy Macdonald, Medina, The Weeknd, Asaf Avidan & MC Solaar, Chris Stapleton, Rhea, Dadju, Samson & Marie, First Aid Kit, Louane, Le Youth, Birdy, Alain Souchon, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Frankie Fame, Tabitha, Dawes and Arizona Zervas among others.
Outside it may be getting a bit colder each day, indoors thinks will be heating up due to the hot new music in your Tunify Player.
