The gentle rhythms offer the music a smooth and pleasant flow, while Moog-inspired synth sounds bring nostalgia, paying tribute to old holiday classics with a contemporary spin. The main star of the show here is Thomas&#8217; voice. Her performance is pleasant and sophisticated, catching the song&#8217;s heart with a mature, pop-inflected style that improves the classic but remaining true to its roots. Her vocals are easy-listening, bringing layered warmth and attraction that make this version unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"This Christmas\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aZU3IHgaogg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LizzieTheJazzSinger\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LizzieTheJazzSinger<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lizziethejazzsinger\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lizziethejazzsinger<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lizzie Thomas, a jazz soprano, offers a fresh, emotional warmth to the holiday season with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25745,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16,5],"tags":[465,4267,117],"class_list":["post-25744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jazz-blues-reviews","category-reviews","tag-jazz","tag-lizzie-thomas","tag-rb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25744"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25744\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25746,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25744\/revisions\/25746"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
