Doesn't it feel like Christmas? Well, it will after even a cursory listen to this seasonal offering from Destiny's Child, which mixes hardy favorites with newly minted holiday originals, all complete with the group's trademark luscious harmonies set to deft urban R&B orchestrations. The group kicks off with "8 Days of Christmas" (the other four presumably victims of some kind of Yuletide recession), with the traditional Christmas gifts replaced by diamond belly-rings, back rubs, and "the keys to a CLK Mercedes." Other highlights include "A DC Christmas Medley" which combines such beloved chestnuts as "Jingle Bells," "Deck the Halls," and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" in a hip-hop Christmas wonderland melange; and Beyonce Knowles's scintillating version of "Silent Night," which should melt the hearts of even the grinchiest DC haters. This DualDisc presents the CD version of 8 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS on one side and a DVD version with surround-sound mix and bonus video material on the other. [More]
