Posted December 06, 2019
By BPence,
The duo Shane and Shane returns with a new five-song Christmas EP. The project includes one new song "Sing We The Song of Emmanuel", as well as four Christmas classics. The duo’s voices blend well and the instrumentation is top-notch.
Below are a few comments about each song:
Sing We The Song of Emmanuel – This new Christmas song was written by Matt Boswell, Matt Papa, Stuart Townend, and Keith Getty. The song features acoustic guitar, bass and chimes. The song builds powerfully with the mid-song “Gloria”.
Key lyric:
Come we to welcome Emmanuel
King who came with no crown or throne
Helpless He lay, the Invincible
Maker of Mary, now Mary’s son
Oh Holy Night – This joyful song was written by Adolphe Adam in 1847. The song features acoustic guitar, drums, bass, piano and an excellent vocal with a good overall pace. A highlight.
Little Drummer Boy – This song was written by Katherine K. Davis, Henry Onorati and Harry Simeone in 1958. The upbeat and joyful arrangement features guitar, bass, and of course drums. A highlight.
The First Noel – This traditional English Christmas carol dates back to 1823. The song features acoustic guitar, piano, bass, backing vocals, and is driven by a light percussion beat.
O Come O Come Emmanuel – This song was translated by John Mason Neale in 1861. The joyful song features acoustic guitar, bass, synth, piano, backing vocals, and some nice drum work.
Best songs:
