Will Young - Christmas Time


32 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!

Buy Christmas Time here (Amazon GB)

The math is simple. I love Will Young plus I love Christmas songs equals I am rather taken with a brand new, original composition from the fella himself. Christmas Time comes hot on the heels of his still potent Lexicon album and is an equally satisfying song all about the spirit of kindness and generosity which seems to be more abundant at the most wonderful time of the year. With vivid, descriptive lyrics Will tells a tale of the beauty of the season while urging all to embrace the message of love, forgiveness and redemption. During the verses he sings with an aching wistfulness, just his vocal and a lilting piano. It gives the sense of intimacy, like a deep conversation with your oldest friend as the snow falls outside. The chorus builds into a wall of sound as sweeping strings come elegantly dancing in, alongside a shuffling percussion - with a refrain that will stay with you well into the new year. A sumptuous bridge goes full on power ballad with some lush backing vocals, before building up to one final run through the most lovely sermon you will hear this year. Chiming bells send tingles down your spine, a final and welcome addendum to the majesty of the music that sends your spirit soaring into the heavens. Utterly celestial.
