Ashanti's Christmas  Hear it Now

RS: 0of 5 Stars

If you're looking for spirit, you won't find it on Ashanti's joyless Christmas album. Throughout the ten-track disc, she plods through both old and new holiday tunes -- from the monotonous original "Christmas Time Again" to flat renditions of "The Christmas Song" and "Joy to the World." The thin-piped songbird nearly redeems herself, however, on the sentimental "Time of Year" and karaoke-worthy covers of Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" and the old standby "Silent Night. But even those songs don't generate enough warmth to shake off the album's bah humbugs. On the cutesy original "Hey Santa," Ashanti asks Old St. Nick, "Can you bring me something good?" That's what we were hoping for.
