I’m not a Gwen Stefani fan, or a Blake Shelton fan or a fan of The Voice, but I am a fan of vintage. When I heard the buzz that her Christmas album had a retro twist I decided to download it to my phone. OMG! I am so glad I did. It’s a throwback to the 1960’s swing with six holiday classics and six original numbers and the perfect fun and festive sound to get excited about Christmas!
Of course my favorite tune is the one she performs with Blake Shelton – You Make it Feel Like Christmas. Hate to to clean house? Well, if you play this song on repeat you can get it all done in no time. Seriously.
The photos to promote her album are vintage inspired too, with a TV set I swear we had, a tinsel tree and the trio of candles. Be sure to check out her Christmas special tonight on NBC 9/8 central. Here’s a description of the show:
“Gwen Stefani’s You Make It Feel Like Christmas” is a modern take on the traditional Christmas specials that we all grew up with and love. Featuring musical performances and fun holiday sketches, this one-hour primetime special will capture Stefani’s infectious spirit and iconic style. It will take her accessible joie de vivre and the love in her heart and share it with audiences around the country.
Special guest appearances will include Blake Shelton, the five-time winning coach on NBC’s “The Voice” and a multi-award-winning country music superstar. Shelton and Stefani perform the title track from Stefani’s new album, “You Make It Feel Like Christmas,” which the two co-wrote along with Justin Tranter and busbee.
So, pop this fun into your stocking or you will have a blue Christmas!
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
