Chilly Gonzales to release minor key Christmas album

completemusicupdate.com:

Is it too early to think about Christmas? Yes, it is. Actually, this year I’m not sure you should think about Christmas until the day, if at all.

But this Chilly Gonzales Christmas album is out next week, so we’re making an exception. Also, it’s a downbeat Christmas album, which seems apt.Gonzales has long included minor key versions of pop songs in his performances and this new album – ‘A Very Chilly Christmas’ – applies that approach to popular Christmas songs.

So, you get sad versions of Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ and Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’, as well as standards like ‘Silent Night’ and ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’.
