Aloe Blacc waagt zich voor het eerst aan een kerst album. “Christmas Funk” telt 10 songs, waarvan acht nieuwe liedjes en twee covers van Mariah Carey en Wham. Uitgerekend “Wham`s “Last Christmas” verschijnt op single. Niet bepaald het beste van Blacc op plaat heeft gezet…..
“Christmas Funk is the type of holiday album I have been waiting to hear for a long time,” aldus Aloe. “These new song concepts and stories are my interpretation of the time I spend with family and friends. I’ve been a fan of Motown and soulful Christmas songs since I was a young child. As much as I love Sinatra and Nat King Cole, I feel like the holiday spirit needed a funky revival. The eight new original songs are a perfect complement to the extra funky versions of two undeniable holiday classics, ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You,’ and ‘Last Christmas.’ I chose to cover these songs because the world deserves to feel the funk.”
