One of the first holiday albums of the season, Wrapped in Red is Clarkson's 1st Christmas album, and her latest studio album, following 2011's Stronger. The LP features 5 new original tracks, and 9 classics.
Wrapped in Red: The title track opens up the set. It starts off as a pretty predictable Christmas song: "Everybody's happy / snow is falling." Hmm, you don't say? The second verse fares much better lyrically, breaking down the meaning of red: "Blue is where I've been / Green can't run to you / Silver does remind me / That mistletoe's for two / So I found a color / That only tells the truth." Nevertheless, the song can get lodged in your brain for hours upon hours; but thats not a bad thing, its still a good song, and one could listen to Kelly sing for years upon years. A-

Simply, it's a bop. Again, lyrically it's dangerously close to All I Want For Christmas, but it's just so much fun, you cant resist. And those F's and G's in the last chorus? Insane. A-
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas: The first cover of the album. It's far more laid back than its two predecessors, and Clarkson's voice is far more tranquil. It's smooth and light, basking in the glory of her lovely falsetto. But of course, she hits a monster note in the latter part of the song, which isn't a bad thing at all; it adds an original take to a non-original song. A
