A Little Christmas

Phillip Nelson releases "A Little Christmas," his second studio album following his debut album, "Fragments." The album contains all-time Christmas classics as "Silent Night," "Carol of the Bells," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "White Christmas" and six original songs composed by Phillip, including the new single, "Our Christmas Cry (Hallelujah)," and the jazzy "A Winter's Love Song." The record entails several surprises including an emotional track in memory of his family "Christmas in Heaven," and a live rendition of "Oh Holy Night". "A Little Christmas" is easily one of the most impressive bodies of work Nelson has put forward since his debut album "Fragments" in April. Combining Pop, Jazz, Gospel, R&B and Opera, he proves once again why he is considered one of the most prolific independent artists that the industry has ever seen. His stunning track "One & Only (Not Like the Rest)" serves as a possible metaphor of things to come as he ends the collection on a dramatic high note - looking to the future and a new year of possibilities ahead. The production is top notch with vocal acrobatics in ample supply, and choirs perfectly complementing and never overshadowing where used. Perfect for Christmas with something for everyone. - the Advocate
