Cascada // It’s Christmas Time

Apparently it’s taken 8 years of attempting to make this album and now finally, they have. But is it worth the wait?

To be honest, listening to it, many of the tracks do seem a bit karaoke backing track-ish and probably not what fans are expecting. Of the tracks probably the only ones to have some sort of change is Last Christmas, Jingle Bell Rock and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Alright so it’s well known tracks that have been covered here and that is probably the issue. The songs have been so many times by so many people that it’s hard to come up with an original version that can still remain true to the track that’s being covered. Maybe looking for Christmas songs that haven’t been covered so often might have been the answer to this (and there are plenty there!) that would have given the group a chance to put their spin it.

Sadly, this will probably be the Last Christmas for this album at least here. And with word that the group are going to have a go at representing Germany in the Eurovision song contest next year…are things getting a little desperate?

Rating: 2/5
