Wilson Phillips - Wilson Phillips (Re-release)

Another classic pop gem is getting the deluxe treatment on December 9. American vocal group Wilson Phillips' eponymous album, originally released in 1990, has been remastered and expanded. It includes the singles "Hold On", "Release Me", "Impulsive", "You're In Love" and "The Dream Is Still Alive".

This album holds a special place in my heart. I usually prefer more electronic music, but this one is so good, mainly thanks to the catchy pop melodies and the girls' beautiful voices. Also, the song "Hold On" has helped me through some hard times and is one of my all-time favourites.

No Christmas on your own

Dear friends, it's that time of the year again and you shouldn't celebrate Christmas on your own, so down below is the video for my band Eurotix's synthpop Christmas single "Christmas On My Own". Hopefully, the video and the song, despite the sad lyrics, can warm you through the holidays. If not, you're always welcome to spend Christmas with me through social media.

The song is still available digitally on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK and Amazon US. If you prefer a lossless version, please send us proof of purchase through one of the mentioned stores and we'll e-mail you a WAV copy.

Have a wonderful Christmas!

Kylie Minogue - Kylie Christmas (Snow Queen Edition)

Click for larger image.

I wasn't going to order Kylie Minogue's "Kylie Christmas (Snow Queen Edition)" because it missed "Every Day's Like Christmas (A Stock Aitken Waterman Remix)". However, I couldn't help myself so I ordered it anyway, even though I already had the original edition.

The main reason was to get her cover of the seventies disco hit "Night Fever". However, it is only available on the French edition that I ordered, available on Amazon UK. The standard edition is also available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK and Amazon US.

"Kylie Christmas (Snow Queen Edition)" tracklist:

1. It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

6. Christmas Wrapping (Feat. Iggy Pop)
7. At Christmas
8. I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter
