Sabrina Carpenter - Silver Nights
42 DAYS (6 WEEKS) UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!
Buy Silver Nights here (US iTunes)
You may well know Sabrina from her role in the charming & witty Disney channel sitcom Girl Meets World. If you are watching that gem then you will also know that one of this year's most incessantly catchy pop hooks is actually the theme tune to that show, Take On The World which Sabrina sings with Rachel Blanchard. Silver Nights, Sabrina's Christmas offering, isn't a million miles away from the style of the theme tune (and the music she released as part of her Can't Blame A Girl For Trying EP) and ergo is a sparkling melody filled delight that encapsulates effortlessly the magic of the season. It's instantly clear that Sabrina has an engaging vocal style that is tailor made for this type of pop music - she has a soulful resonant timbre to her tones that give the lyrics a depth and emotion that belies her youthful age (lets not forget stars like Debbie Gibson pioneered the way for young female pop stars to sing meaningful yet fun tunes that felt appropriate and relatable for all ages). It's the story of celebrating the joys of the season and enjoying them with whomever you chose - a friend, a lover, family; it's entirely open to the interpretation of the listener meaning that it's a glorious treat for anyone who chooses to participate in it. Musically there's a wondrously shuffling jingle bell chime that conjures up images of decorated trees, candy canes and crisp white winter landscapes - this is accentuated by a percolating beat as peppy as any sleigh ride in the snow and a mellifluous melody that is more addictive than the Starbucks Christmas drinks menu. There's nothing not to love about this deliciously perky tune - Sabrina easily takes you on a journey that will make a glittering addition to your holiday playlist for this festive season and beyond. Aces.
