It’s a star-studded holiday season for Ingrid Michaelson. Christmas Valentine, a duet with Jason Mraz, is a fun foray into the modern season that has each side of the equation contribute mightily to the final effort. Soft instrumentation ties things up with a bow.
On her take on the classic Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree, Michaelson is able to impart rich vocals with a smoothness. Coupled with vox contributed by Grace VanderWaal, this cover hits all the highs of the original while jazzing it up considerably.
We last covered Ingrid’s music back in 2007, with stories about “Girls and Boys” and her VH1 accolade.
