The thing we like about this track from Mariah’s brand new festive LP ‘Merry Christmas II You’ is that it sees the singer going to back to what she does best – being a soulful, joyous star.
‘O Come All Ye Faithful’ would have sat perfectly on the singer’s previous Christmas LP (our favourite track from which was the timelessly divine ‘O Holy Night’), and sees her purr over the Christmas classic with effortless grace.
Her mum’s also along for the ride, delivering an operatic touch which works or not depending who you speak to.
The clip is all set in the studio, with little flashes of fandom, plenty of tinsel and a smattering of Christmas lights throughout.
It’s what we’d love to see Mariah doing more of outside her Christmas LPs – utilising that glorious voice to its fullest diva-esque potential.

Mariah is the ultimate Mrs. Christmas. She’s the most festive, fun loving legendary singer of our time. Like Tim said, we need to promote Mariah because she changed the game in the music world and inspired tons of big names in the music industry as well as her “real” loyal fans around the world. PLEASE post more Mariah stuff and let us grow with the best music out there!!

Hey Anonymous #2,
There wasn’t really enough news to go around for a news wrap over the weekend, sadly.
Things have slowed right down for the festive season.

I’m not a huge Christmas music fan but I thought after your review I’d give this a watch and it is incredible, the vocals are crazy by Mariah and her mother does a great job. This was a huge surprise. It feels like Mariah 90’s vocal style a bit more. Man can she hit some notes. I like this.
