EP REVIEW - ELERI ANGHARAD - A MERRY ELERI CHRISTMAS

-
This Friday (3rd December) will see Swansea based artist singer-songwriter, Eleri Angharad release her brand new EP called A Merry Eleri Christmas.
A Merry Eleri Christmas is made up of 4 tracks - 2 originals, 1 classic Christmas song and a Justin Bieber cover.

Homemade Christmas has a joyful upbeat Christmassy instrumental that I have to say instantly took me off into another world. The first verse sees Eleri's soft vocal at the forefront allowing for her this purity within her voice to shine through with the most magical lyrics that you can hear mean so much to her. Christmas is a time of joy, and this song is definitely one of those moments where you remember. I adore the lyrics, and how more people will be able to relate it to theirs. The chorus features some of the most gorgeous lyrics that get you thinking about our loved ones and about our memories of Christmas past and present. The second verse of Homemade Christmas continues with a warm magical feel bringing a lot of emotion with it - I caught myself getting emotional many times as I caught myself thinking about the Christmases I've had with loved ones who image no longer with me! The final verse sees Eleri's slow and softer vocal tone bringing some of the most poignant lyrics to live especially as it goes into the final chorus of the song. WOW, WOW, WOW, Homemade Christmas is brilliant!

Mistletoe has a slow but softer sounding instrumental which compliments Eleri's soft vocal tone. The first verse sees Eleri bringing this Justin Bieber cover to her own little world allowing for the lyrics to find their own interpretation of the songs lyrics. I love Eleri's tone throughout as it allows for us listeners to hear exactly who she is as an artist especially within the chorus. The second verse of Mistletoe allows for even more of Eleri's stunning vocals to shine through displaying another side of what an amazing artist she is! The chorus is the part of the song that Eleri amazes me on. The final verse sees the songs most wonderful lyrics being bought to life a little more along with the final chorus seeing this gorgeous vocal tone that Eleri allows us in to hear.

Santa's Little Helper has a soft instrumental complimenting Eleri's softer vocals on the first verse and throughout adding this brilliant dynamic. The first verse sees Eleri bringing this wonderful song to life with her own sweet and special messages that I think will see many listeners relating to their own families and Christmas memories. The chorus features some of my favourite lyrics allowing for an even more beautiful story to be shared, there is something so magical about the way that Eleri sings and has written this song giving it many emotional moments. The second verse of Santa's Little Helper continues with chance in direction that takes the song full circle which I just love thanks to the vocal tone. The final verse is a jolly vocal at the forefront which is the perfect break up for me personally, especially as it's not long until the softer vocal returns to end the song with the beautiful chorus.

Santa Baby starts with guitar instrumental to start this classic Christmas song off in the best way possible. The first verse sees Eleri's soft magical tone opening up with her own interruption of the songs lyrics making it even more beautiful.  The fact that Eleri isn't afraid to sing this classic and make it her own has me emotional because my god this version is stunning. The classic soft, sweet blend is everything as it allows listeners to hear a different side of who Eleri is as an artist.

CORONATION STREET REVIEW LAUREN BOLTON & MAX TURNER'S FLASHBACK EPISODE ALONGSIDE PADDY BEVER QUOTES

During tonight's episode (13th November) of Coronation Street viewers were treated to a series of flashbacks this time in the frame are Lauren Bolton and Max Turner who only recently got back together are the ones I have been most excited to see having said to friends for weeks they definitely have to be involved somehow if they were suspects thinking back to everything she's been through.  However, Monday's episode (11th November) Lauren's body language dramatically change in my opinion, and Max's side eye following Ed Bailey buying him a drink, but it was Sabrina Adetiba's sudden reappearance that left me with even more questions. The opening sequence was brilliant with the level of added dialogue as they recapped at the suspects, but Carla Connor's look towards Lauren Bolton during the flashback which entered to real time was interestingly delivered camera angles. With Lauren's son Frankie set to be discharged viewers saw young mum Lauren became incre...
