A very pleasing Christmas offering,
By
This review is from: Tamia's Christmas - A Gift Between Friends (Audio CD)
The moment I saw that Tamia had released a three-track Christmas single, I went ahead and ordered it. Previously, the only Christmas track I had of Tamia was "The Christmas Song" from Jermaine Dupri's 12 Soulful Nights of Christmas, which coincidentally is one of the three tracks (completely redone, however) on A Gift Between Friends. I personally prefer the previous version (recorded about ten years ago) to this newer version, though her voice is much more polished today. The newer version has a real tropical Latin flavor, which may or may not suit your holiday taste. Either way, it certainly is a unique twist on the classic song.The first track is a medley consisting of "Let It Snow," "Winter Wonderland," and "O Holy Night." The jazz band instrumentals to the first two provide a real cool, laid-back groove, which allow Tamia's beautiful voice to shine through. "O Holy Night" is essentially just her voice backed by a light acoustic guitar, and later on, she's joined a choir. Well-sung, though not nearly as full-sounding and moving as I feel she is capable of. The second track, Donny Hathaway's classic, "This Christmas," is done to a completely new beat, along with a nice vocal backing. Shep Crawford, a close friend who produced all three tracks, took the song in a completely new old-school direction, though I prefer versions mirroring the original closer. Though it's disappointingly just three songs, it is nonetheless a beautiful collection from the fabulous Tamia. It's a great addition to your Christmas music library or even to your complete Tamia collection.

Tamia, Tamia! I wish she would have done a full Christmas CD, but I udnerstand her reasons (I heard her explain...in an interview). Nonetheless, for the price, these three songs are well worth it!!! Not to mention, that the length of them are long enough too!

I have always enjoyed the music of the recording artist "Tamia", and she did not disappoint me one bit on this short CD single. Thanks Amazon for carrying this artist.Keith
