Kelli-Leigh - Underneath The Tree


5 WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!

In what is clearly an audition to be the new Mary Claus, Queen of the North Pole, High Empress of Elves and Grand Dowager of Christmas, Kelli-Leigh is bringing the festivities on her brand new single, Underneath The Tree. Now I've heard that the best way to spread Christmas cheer is by singing loud for all to hear - and you certainly get the opportunity to do that with this effervescent holiday jam. It has just more than a few of my favourite things - jingling bells, shimmering chimes, sleigh ride percussion, girl group harmonies and a chorus so enormous that even Bryony (from Arthur Christmas) couldn't wrap it. Kelli-Leigh sings of the anticipation of Christmas with such vibrant glee that her longing is utterly contagious and as exhilarating as Rudolph's nose lighting the way for Santa's sleigh. Every moment is beautifully textured with layered harmonies twinkling alongside Kelli-Leigh's impressive, expressive range. And there are more than a few surprises - let's just say that segue out the middle 8 into the final repeat of the sparkling chorus is a love-on-top moment that just keeps on giving. It ends with a choir of angels singing her song and it will make you joyful AND triumphant.
