I’m chained to my laptop instead of listening at the gym or in the car. Two: iTunes Radio isn’t available in any of the places I listen to music. But there are problems with this: one, determined pirates ripped the stream and uploaded illegal copies within hours. To be fair to the label, the album was streaming on iTunes this week as part of iTunes Radio’s First Play series.

Does Mariah’s record label really expect fans not to download a major new release at the earliest possible second?Īnd for those who aren’t obsessives and simply like her music, why would someone spend money on an album a week after they already downloaded it? Replacing a torrent with a new, legal copy would totally mess up iTunes play counts, for a start. London time the previous day-i.e., before I even arrived at the airport. Thanks to differing time zones, a Friday release in Australia actually means that the album was in the wild as early as 3 p.m. In the age of torrenting, staggered international releases are ridiculous. The album comes out today in Germany and Australia, but, for some reason, the U.S. Why am I travelling across Europe to purchase a CD? Because I don’t steal music, and because record labels are a-holes.

But since nobody has the jingle balls to take her on as the undisputed Queen of Christmas, FILAC is sure to be a hit.

FILAC is certainly more memorable than 2010’s Oh Santa, which she performed with Ariana Grande, and Jennifer Hudson last year on her Apple TV special (source: I forgot that happened). Oh right, I guess there were lyrics in there. But recognizing that lovers long into a relationship gotta balance romance with the little ones, “Fall in Love at Christmas” cleverly turns on a dime to a full-on Kirk Franklin stomp, as Carey’s melisma decorates the gospel rave-up. She delivers topline melody and sinuous runs in classic Carey form, and Khalid turns out to be a great duet partner: The 23-year-old R&B singer knows no one can outdo Carey, so his harmonies add just the right amount of tinsel. “Fall in Love at Christmas” is a carol for grown folks several seasons into their love and the kind of sumptuous torch song that Carey hasn’t sung in a minute. Who doesn’t love a terrier in a sweater?! Here’s NPR’s review: So we’re off to a festive (if uncanny, that cannot be her real face) start! Here’s the video.Ĭome on, whistle tone! I’m not mad at it. NPR calls FILAC “ a carol for grown folks several seasons into their love” and the video features cozy pajamas, wine glasses filled with generous pours of Mariah’s Black Irish Cream liqueur, prayer hands, and a CGI Mariah humping a Tuscan column in the snow. I hope you will join me on this festive journey of discovery! Khalid & Kirk Franklin and I’m about to listen to it for the very first time. Am I not an American? Do I not bleed red, white, and glitter? Well, according to NPR, Mariah has a new Christmas song out today called Fall in Love at Christmas feat. But I, a mere mortal with mortal ears, cannot resist the siren call of its jingle-jangle perfection and I WILL be making a fool out of myself in the produce aisle of my local grocery store by squeezing my eyes shut, one finger to my ear and the other finger going every which way as I trill along from now until January 2022. Though I have tried in the past, many times, in fact, to reject, ignore or otherwise turn my back on the ubiquitous harbinger of the Holiday season, All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey.
