Album Reviews
With 2001's Now That's What I Call Christmas compilation, the team behind the popular fourteen-volume Now series strayed from its bankable formula of featuring various hot-off-the-frying-pan hit-makers by devoting most of the two-disc set to classic holiday songs sung by legendary artists. The second volume of that venture, Now That's What I Call Christmas: The Signature Collection, blends the two blueprints, offering something for every generation. Disc One, entitled Now and Forever, is full of pop and R&B acts, like Elton John and 'N Sync, putting their spin on old favorites and adding some of their own holiday tunes. The results are mixed. Destiny's Child delivers a beautiful -- if at times overly embellished -- "Opera of the Bells," Stacie Orrico mutilates the classic "O Come All Ye Faithful" with a bevy of synth-beats, and Norah Jones delivers a timeless rendition of "Peace." Disc Two, entitled Then and Always, goes with time-tested classics, like Louis Armstrong's "Winter Wonderland," Peggy Lee's "Happy Holiday" and Jose Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad."
