Album DescriptionVocalist Clairdee?s THIS CHRISTMAS is a contemporary gift package adorned with the ribbons of Jazz, Latin grooves, R&B, and a heartfelt appreciation of the Christmas spirit ? indeed a captivating collection of warm treats even Grinch can?t resist! The opening song, Charles Brown's "BRINGING IN A BRAND NEW YEAR," is set in a rousing party atmosphere with a celebratory tone from the very first note to "Ya?ll ate up all the gumbo," uttered at the end. Clairdee?s rendition promises to replace other traditional anthems for that annual night of revelry. And it will be hard to stay off of the dance floor when the irrepressible Brazilian rhythms of "WINTER WONDERLAND" begin. Clairdee?s sultry samba is a surefire way to break winter?s icy grip. The Frank Loesser classic, "BABY, IT?S COLD OUTSIDE" is a humorous dialogue in which Clairdee explains that she needs to go home, while guest vocalist Nicolas Bearde tries desperately to persuade her to stay. When saying"It?s cold outside" doesn?t work, Nic tries flattery and ultimately, begging. Clairdee and Nic are a match made in musical heaven. You can just imagine the playful antics around the tree on Christmas morning as Clairdee and Nic reminisce and flirt on this funky remake of the holiday hit, "MERRY CHRISTMAS, BABY."
