Just in time for the holidays, Kimberly invites her fans to have a seat by
the fireplace to embrace 'WISHIN'
FOR CHRISTMAS,' a stunning mix of original and classic
Christmas songs. The title song starts off with a charming acoustic guitar riff
that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Kimberly's voice is sweet and
warm, drawing listeners in with her heartfelt lyrics about the magic of
Christmas and wishing for the perfect holiday with loved ones.
When she sings, "I’m wishin’ for Christmas / (Antici)pating future
smiles." You can hear her visualizing what she is
anticipating for what this holiday season will bring. "I’m
findin' it hard to say good-bye / To the twinklin’ of the lights." Her
beautiful voice and touching lyrics are sure to get everyone in the festive
mood and spread some holiday cheer.
As we delve deeper into the album, listeners are greeted with Kimberly's
festive track, "Ho Ho Holding You," which invites us
into the world of Christmas in June. The lyrics "You got me believin’ in the season
even in the middle of June," captures the essence of the
track. Moreover, the incorporation of a subtle jazz tone adds a unique touch to
the song, making it feel like a jazz contract infused with the spirit of
Christmas.
