Bryan Adams - Let's Get Christmas Going / Christmas Time (Classic Version)

39 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!

Bryan Adams has sporadically been giving us Christmas music for almost 40 years now. Sure, it has been quality over quantity but his 1985 Christmas Time single (& b-side Reggae Christmas) and 2011's Merry Christmas were added to two new songs on his Christmas EP from a couple of years ago (the same year he joined Robbie Williams for a duet on Robbie's Christmas album). It is always worth revisiting those songs, particularly his inaugural festive contribution Christmas Time, now remastered in a classic version to remind us all how good it is. Bryan's voice on it is like a time machine, taking you on a journey through the Ghosts of Christmas Past (only with a more prominent children's choir in the chorus). The best Christmas songs never grow old and Bryan's evergreen classic is as fresh as newly cut mistletoe. All but guaranteed to make you feel merry and bright...

As well as a newly sonic version of his oldest holiday tune, Bryan has unwrapped a brand new future seasonal oldie for you to enjoy in the form of the ebullient Let's Get Christmas Going. It feels like a natural sequel to Christmas Time with lyrics that see Bryan immerse himself in the whirlwind of excitement that swirls around the big day like a whirling dervish. There is deliciously familiar crunchy guitar so indelible to Christmas Time, with a propulsive beat and descriptive lyrics that paints a winter wonderland as vivid as any card you might receive this holiday season. The enthusiasm of the titular refrain is contagious, particularly with the chant a long convivial backing vocals - you'll be singing along all the live long day. What are you waiting for? It is rude not to do as Bryan suggests!
