Mariah Carey - Merry Christmas [CD]

The Holiday Album That Turned Mariah Carey into the Queen of Christmas: The Singer's Blockbuster Merry Christmas Exudes Joy, Spirituality, and ConvictionSourced from the Original Master Tapes, Presented in Audiophile Sound, and Released to Celebrate the Record's 30th Anniversary: Mobile Fidelity's Hybrid SACD Play with Engaging Transparency and DetailMariah Carey didn't become the Queen of Christmas just because of her fervent love of the holiday. The iconic singer earned her title by way of her blockbuster Merry Christmas, a 1994 album that quickly joined the likes of Bing Crosby's White Christmas and Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song as an all-time holiday vocal classic. Featuring a balanced mix of inspired originals and well-chosen covers, Carey's fourth studio record has only grown in stature as new generations discover it's magic. It seamlessly ties together Christian, gospel, and secular threads and speaks to a boundless audience, independent of denomination. And the album remains inescapably connected to 'All Want for Christmas Is You,' the uptempo anthem that towers as one of the biggest-selling singles in history.Featuring the bonus track 'God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,' Mobile Fidelity's 30th anniversary edition numbered-edition hybrid SACD version of Merry Christmas breathe with a newfound openness and transparency that enhance the spirituality, passion, and festive tenor of Carey's singing.
