Christina Perri says the first song she ever sang was a Christmas carol, when she was three, so she’s always known that a holiday project was something she wanted to do. Call it a dream fulfilled: her new EP A Very Merry Perri Christmas finds the Philadelphia singer-songwriter celebrating the season with classics from the Carpenters, Charles Brown, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, plus her very own “Something About December.”

Under the Gun
There comes a time in every ambitious pop artist’s career that they are approached with the idea of creating a Christmas album. Christina Perri decided to try her hand at it this year with A Very Merry Perri Christmas. Whether the album’s name came from her ambition to beat Katy Perry to the punch or her marketing team is just that clever, the title definitely helps cheese the album up (which is necessary for any holiday shenanigans). Like most Christmas albums produced in the past twenty years, Perri’s album falls short. Maybe Christmas is all about drinking in nostalgia and rum-infused eggnog while looking at pretty lights. Maybe because producing a new “Christmas sound” just can’t be done. This six-track EP is a wonderful example of the talent Perri can deliver but will probably not make it onto any holiday mixtapes.
