Idina Menzel
Christmas Wishes
Rating: 4/5
AFTER having a hit with Frozen tune Let It Go, probably the biggest song of the past 12 months, Idina Menzel steps in from the cold to bring us this collection of festive tracks. There are much-loved classics here such as Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You, a duet with Michael Buble, Baby It's Cold Outside, and also December Prayer, a beautiful new song co-written by Menzel. The atmosphere is warm and sentimental with lush strings and of course, Menzel's incredible voice. There are many covers of Silent Night and White Christmas out there, but the star of screen and stage puts her own accent on these songs making them dreamlike, particularly the latter track which closes this album beautifully.
