Five man-one woman Vocaluptuous is one of the best-known a cappella groups in Singapore. They put on Singapore's first a cappella musical, 'No Strings Attached,' under the direction of a very talented musical director, Juliette Lay. The attractive, youthful group has a light, contemporary, jazzy sound, with sweet vocals and tight vocal percussion. 'Jingle Bells' is an amazingly arranged joy, as is a surprising, blue-note, rap-flavored 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing.' a rich, sumptuous 'The Christmas Song,' a pop-sampled 'God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen,' a brilliant, minor-key 'Do You Hear What I Hear,' 'Silent Night' as a laid-back reggae beach anthem, the heartbreak of 'Last Christmas'Ð each tune is a thoughtfully-arranged, perfectly performed gem. One of our favorite Christmas CDs of the year, and highly recommended! |
