New Holiday Music from Lindsey Stirling

My holidays 'officially' begin each year with the arrival of new holiday music that sets the mood for all of December and beyond!

On her second holiday-themed full-length release, pop violinist Lindsey Stirling puts her contemporary spin on a handful of classics bundled alongside some originals on Snow Waltz. Following 2018's Warmer in the Winter, this appropriately festive set features Stirling's trademark crossover sound, an upbeat blend of hip-hop beats, pop production, and folksy violin. "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "Feliz Navidad" are energized with galloping percussion, handclaps, and jaunty piano backing. "Joy to the World" is a swashbuckling highlight that thrills more than the original ever could, while "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" is infused with urgent drama and a brief dubstep break. Fans will delight at these versions, as Stirling doesn't stray too far from her typical style. Additionally, she recruited a handful of guests to provide vocals, including Bonnie McKee on "Crazy for Christmas", Frawley contributing to the peppy "Christmas Time with You", and David Archuleta helping out on the aptly titled soul stirrer "Magic".

Snow Waltz is a warm cup of cocoa (with a little something extra splashed in) that pleases the soul and primes listeners for the holidays.

Fans of Lindsey can catch her (kinda) close to our area when she appears on stage at the Hershey Theatre. A bit of a drive, but well worth the effort to get yourself into a ho-ho-holiday mood!
