This Christmas album that was created within the year 2012 is the 10th solo album now that Thomas Anders alongside "Modern Talking" and his current dance project "Anders | Fahrenkrog" (expected next slice 2013) published. Come only in December after informing ARTISTSHOME first live and TV events, but now is my recommendation:
Overall, this is the standard version of the album to 15 titles, on the one hand written himself, on the other hand are new editions of established Christmas classics. The special feature here is again that Thomas Anders true "Christmas beads" has been excavated, which are the mass is not entirely known. For this reason alone it is worth, record this album in the Christmas collection!
Musically one may draw upon "handmade", adjust acoustic music, which testifies in arrangement and production of high quality. All instruments are removed cleanly and convey by their full sound, a warm atmosphere, the ideal match for the Advent and Christmas. However, the exploitation is never overloaded. The music sounds festive, but is not intrusive. A great balancing act! From this point itself does not fall here and there decried as Christmas Nightmare Christmas hit "Last Christrmas" from the series: The song is quite relaxed in an elegant attitude, therefore, without losing the musical identity of the original. A great transformation of this most famous covers of the album.
Praiseworthy are also consistently the lyrics of the album. For as the new interpretations convince me the lyrics of self-penned songs. There are not just song lines, but often very poetic verses and sometimes whole stories that are told. Be it the charming "Kisses For Christmas", in which Thomas Anders commented the Christmas commercialization smart; or the pun of "merry" and "marry" in "Marry You" (Deluxe Version).
Another great attraction of "Christmas For You" is the one with all the related versatility: The times atmospherically-amusing, peppy-euphoric, sometimes devoutly romantic items are for Thomas Anders warm and caring voice always tailored and even the singer shows impressively its facets. Almost as a cherry on top of this musical enjoyment. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" interpreted ThomasAnders acapella example, elsewhere is sometimes refereed and "Sleigh Ride" makes a masterly onomatopoeia for variety. On the Deluxe Edition of the album Thomas Anders is even for narrator and read the story "Der Tannenbaum" and the poem "Santa's Little Helper". A nice idea for an encore - especially to the fans.
Ultimately appear "Christmas For You" as a very well thought out and heartfelt project that one should not do without if you are lovers of well-made music and would like to make a holiday mood. "Christmas For You" comes from the heart and goes to the heart. In total there is and remains music taste, but even this does not speak from that it is a successful stock in this album.
Fans should definitely grab the deluxe edition, open-minded music lovers may the standard edition rich, curious, I recommend the album as a cost and therefore not to be repentant Download.
For my part, therefore, an absolute buy recommendation without compromising!
