This is a classic and elegant Christmas album. A perfect recipe for the holidays. One part Katharine Mcphee's vocals, add equal parts of Christmas songs and you have a delightful taste of magical perfection!
Christmas Is The Time is destined to become one of my favorite Christmas albums! There is indeed a certain quality to Mcphee's voice that sets her apart from other vocalists. I love every track in this album, no exception! A different take on "Jingle Bells", gives the release just the right appeal. Her original Christmas composition, "It's Not Christmas Without You" is a beautiful song.
The title track, "Christmas Is the Time to Say I Love You", is purposely approached in an ethereal high register of her voice, which I truly love. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", features trumpet icon Chris Botti, it is bound to be a classic. Her voice resonates and is crystal clear on the poignant album closer,"Who Would Imagine A King". A sure Christmas playlist topper every year!
