5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Music for the Sophisticated Music Lover, November 21, 2008

By	A. Stott (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What can one say about this CD? The music is simply beautiful, soulful, and addicted, all in the same breath. I can't stop listening to this CD. If you are looking for a CD to put on for the holidays for the sophisticated crowd that loves real music with heart, this is the one to put on. The entire CD is on point. This CD showcases Ledisi in her finest form from R&B to spiritual to jazz. Don't miss out on this experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five brand new Christmas songs all ringing GOLD! , November 16, 2008

By	R. Kyle (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I first heard Ledisi on the movie "Leatherheads" and it was love at first sight and sound. She's bound to be an R&B diva for years to come. And instead of giving us a re-tread album full of traditionals, she's got five brand new songs for her holiday CD.

"Thank You" is a paean to gratitude and joy. You will be smiling through Christmas traffic jams if you put this song in your CD player.

"I'll Go" is a hymn of joy and dedication (or rededication). The choir backing this song has the most gorgeous tight harmony I've heard in a song time.

"Give Love on Christmas" is a slow groove that's going to be another romance special.

"Be There for Christmas" is a song about celebrating love. It will make you want to get up and dance!

"This Christmas (Could be the One)" is the song full of longing for a lover far away.

All of these songs are music you are going to hear year after year. I suggest you get this CD and learn them all now. You're not going to get tired of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of the Heap, December 12, 2008

By	A. Wilson (South FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have a collection of 125 Christmas CDs from all genres of music. The season doesn't start in our home until the first 10 are played, led by BeBe and CeCe Winans' "First Christmas". Next year, Ledisi's takes first place !! This CD is soulful, cheerful, reverent, and a soon-to-be classic.
