Nicki French - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town/Cold Cold Christmas


27 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!

It feels appropriate that, 5 years to the day after Nicki French released A Very Nicki Christmas, she's back with a glittering new party classic and a remix of one of the songs off that very album. Her take on Santa Claus Is Coming To Town adds so much magic and sparkle to the much-loved song that it is surely enough to power Santa's sleigh this Christmas Eve. Jingling bells herald the launch, with propulsive disco beats and a swirling keyboard riffs giving those reindeer enough pep in their step to soar as powerfully as Nicki's effusive vocal. Project K's extended mix takes you back to those glorious days when you would buy a lovely 12" vinyl copy down at Woolworths - a nostalgic yet new five minutes of festabulous fun. 

Flip this imaginary double-A side over and you get a Sakgra remix of It's Gonna Be A Cold Cold Christmas, reinvigorating a song that has been part of party playlists for half a decade now. Sakgra is ensuring that Nicki dances through the heartache of being away from her loved one at the most wonderful time of the year; stock-aitken-waterman influences abound but it feels very appropriate for Nicki to be immersed within this shimmering remix. Chiming bells and a groove as exhilarating as any sleigh ride you can imagine will help you boogie your cares away with gay abandon. The extended mix adds some lovely instrumental loops alongside those textured vocals, giving you enough time to neck your Flirtini before getting down with your bad self on the dance floor. Merrinificent.
