CORINNE, "Let's Be in Love at Christmastime"

Many folks complain these days that thanks to our retail driven culture, the world around us begins to look a lot like Christmas way too soon – like the day after Halloween. This year, it’s actually a blessing - and an inspiring early holiday gift since fast emerging jazz/bossa nova singer chose November 1 to drop one of the most charming original seasonal songs in years, “Let’s Be In Love at Christmastime.”

Though it’s title makes us expect a straightforward romance, we’re instead treated to a surprising twist on trying to steal someone’s heart away from their boring, predictable ball and chain. The feeling is, hey, maybe that dull girl/big mistake can stick around the rest of the year, but c'mon boy, this is the holidays! Maybe Corinne's playing the fool a bit, but mistletoe could lurk just around the corner.

Winsomely and humorously charming her way through her producer Eric Todd’s clever tale, Corinne fashions a whimsical, bossa-buoyant Christmas story song for the ages, putting a thoroughly contemporary coolness on a delightful stroll through mid-60’s Brazil.

Capped with with the sweet sound of jingle bells, wintry synth flavors, dreamy strings and a snappy electric guitar solo by B.D. Lenz, the track is the perfect complement to In The Christmas City, her recently released EP of four holiday covers,
