Jessica Simpson - Happy Christmas - Christmas Music - CD

Jessica Simpson's star has only continued to shine during her 10+ year career as she has become an icon in music, fashion and entertainment. With the release of her second Christmas album, HAPPY CHRISTMAS, she lends her unforgettable vocal talent to the most beloved Christmas classics creating versions that will warm the heart and home during the cold holiday season. Jessica will be synonymous with the Christmas season this year as she will be seen and heard consistently throughout the coming months at every major holiday telecast and talk show from Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade all the way through New Year's Eve.

Left without a major-label contract after her country makeover didn't stick, there was one clear option for Jessica Simpson: sign with Ellen DeGeneres' fledgling Eleven Eleven label to cut her second Christmas album. Compared to 2004's brassy Rejoyce: The Christmas Album, Happy Christmas exists on a small stage: Simpson doesn't belt songs out, doesn't seem intent on wowing an audience with her pizzazz. Instead, she slips into whatever old-fashioned mode works for the song at hand, kicking off proceedings with the Phil Spector-styled "My Only Wish," jauntily navigating a medley of "Here Comes Santa Claus/Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," putting on her serious face for "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," adopting her inner choir nerd for "Carol of the Bells," singing amiably with John Britt on "I'll Be Home for Christmas" and with Willie Nelson on "Merry Christmas Baby." She may be intent on being all things to all people, but her eagerness to please suits the season and helps make Happy Christmas a better holiday soundtrack than Rejoyce. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
