Colbie Caillat @ Christmas in The Sand

It's Christmas and It's holiday!!! but this time is holiday somewhere in a non cold climates and there will not be any classic wintertime clichés like snow, chilly weather, and huddling around the fireplace. <Christmas in The Sand> probably the first Christmas album having such a theme by bringing a lively, cheerful and bright newly written tunes. The sound of the season for such climates may differ from <Baby It's Cold Outside> duet with Gavin Degraw but the <Winter Wonderland> & <Santa Claus Is Coming To Town> urging you to put your bathers back and getting back to the sun, sea and breeze at once. Didn't you see that coming? Despite most tracks most tracks carry an upbeat country feel but classic cover songs serve only the same purpose and achieves the ideal goal of unobtrusive replication perfectly and this "different" kind of Christmas album is also ideal for the sub-tropical climates dancing throughout the festive season without any hesitation."Not everyone lives in the snow or cold places for Christmas, so why don’t we write some songs for them to be able to relate to what their Christmas is like. A lot of the songs I wrote for it are about how not every (winter) holiday I spent has been only in the snow.” The thoughtful Caillat explained the motivation of producing such Christmas album.  If anything makes the songs sound warm and sunny, <Christmas In The Sand> made it work and melds light acoustic strumming, delayed electric lead lines, and sundry holiday percussion in a seamless blend. Could have been the sun? Could have been the sea? Could have been Caillat's childhood fantasy that she saw Santa in his bathing suit trying to catch a wave? It's all written in the tracks of <Christmas In The Sand> of her very own innovation.
