Taking her vocal prowess to the max (her sound echoes jazz legends Billie, Ella, etc.) the act decided to take a novel approach to a Christmas\/holiday themed project\u2026 recording original tunes with live big band and swing jazz musicians and then remixing or revamping them into their new signature house \/ electronic vibe. The result is this brilliantly refreshing holiday album. One of the standout songs is clearly A LITTLE OF THAT NEVER HURT NO ONE which is one of the most clever \u201cbreak-up\u201d \/ I will survive Christmas songs ever recorded. In its swing jazz original form, it\u2019s just brilliant.<br>&nbsp;<br>\u000fThe rest of the album is filled with such wonderful themes\u2026 even morphing cliches into refreshing sounds and metaphors. I WANT A UNICORN FOR CHRISTMAS is a complete revamp on the silly-but-cute classic I WANT A HIPPOPOTAMUS FOR CHRISTMAS, but it\u2019s not silly, it actually is so convincing, you will want a unicorn\u2026 too!<br>&nbsp;<br>Album out on 28 November. Remix packages announcing soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cautious Arc has made a beautiful transition this year into a more house \/ dance focused act with new vocalist Iris at the mic.
