Fruitcake

The six-track debut holiday EP from Sabrina Carpenter is a collection of five original songs alongside fan-favorite and previously released "A Nonsense Christmas," a festive lyrical twist on her first Top 40 Radio #1 hit, "Nonsense." Just sayin,' we've never seen Santa Claus and Sabrina Carpenter in the same room.
Sleigher

Built on an eclectic mix of originals and reimagined classics, the brilliantly titled new holiday collection examines the passage of time through the lens of Christmas, reflecting on memory, loss, and longing as it explores the variety of ways the yuletide season marks the chapters of our lives. The songs are playful here, full of humor and cheer, but they're also laced with an inescapable sense of melancholy, a looming darkness that always seems to hover around the periphery. Folds' performances, meanwhile, flirt with the standards while stretching the boundaries of tradition, at times offering up flashes of Vince Guaraldi and Burt Bacharach while still remaining true to Folds' singularly virtuosic brand of off-kilter indie pop. The result is not so much a Ben Folds Christmas record as it is a Ben Folds record set at Christmas, a meditation on the inexorable turning of the calendar and our ever changing selves as observed at the most wonderful, and challenging, time of the year.
