Ariana Grande - Christmas & Chill EP review




With just only one day away before Christmas, I have decided that I want to do a little introduction  for you guys to Ariana Grande's second holiday EP titled "Christmas & Chill". The singer released this Christmas extended play on December 18, 2015 as the follow-up to her 2013 EP "Christmas Kisses".

 

Intro serves as the opener to Grande's Christmas & Chill EP. She sings over a trap music beat with the lyrics:


Welcome to this Christmas
Only comes one time a year, don't miss this
I just wanna welcome you to Christmas
Let me sneak into your speakers, listen
I'll be singing, "Oh, oh, oh, oh"
I'll be singing, "Oh, oh, oh, oh"

 
Wit It This Christmas

This song finds Ariana trying to make her mate happy on the first verse with:
 

Come and kiss me, baby
We don't need no mistletoe
We don't need no fireplace
Boy, I'll keep you nice and warm, hey

Before she starts making some sexual references to him on the pre-chorus singing:

Are you down for some of these milk and cookies?
Down for loving, you'll be my drummer boy
And I'm the only drum that you gonna play, hmm

On the chorus, Grande is sending an invitation to her man and letting him know that she's down for whatever he wants to do with the lyrics:
 

Are you wit it, are you with it?
Are you wit it this Christmas, baby, let me know
Are you wit it, are you with it?
Are you wit it this Christmas?


 
December
 
December is about wanting to keep your bae nice and cozy especially when it's cold outside. Which is, exactly what Ariana is doing the same time to her boyfriend, just like she did on the previous track "Wit It This Christmas", on the pre-chorus singing:


I'm just tryna keep my baby warm through the wintertime
I'm just tryna give you something to remember through the summertime
And whatever is on your list, I'll do it
Boy, whatever it is, you know I'll do it
Uh, yeah

 
Grande breaks into a very catchy chorus on the song with the lyrics:
 

Merry Christmas, here I am, boy
Gonna love you, gonna give you all I can, boy
Merry Christmas, here I am, boy
I'm the present and you know it, here I am, boy
Merry Christmas, here I am, boy

 
 
Not Just On Christmas
 
Not Just On The Christmas is a short but yet slow and soulful song by Ariana as she talks about the importance of being there for your loved ones all year around and not just on Christmas.
 
The singer also does an interesting take on the wedding vow "for better or worse" on the third verse with:
 

Baby, whether rain or shine
Naughty or nice
I'm by your side

Then, she moves into the chorus on the track singing:
 

I'll love you till I die, boy
Every day of my life
I celebrate you, baby
I adore you, not just on Christmas


 
True Love
 
On "True Love", the singer puts her own spin on a classic Christmas coral with the lyrics:
 

On that first day of Christmas
When you gave me all them kisses
Boy, you showed me things
Come hold me, please, and never let me go
On that second day of Christmas
Said you felt like something's missing
So you promised me that promise ring to keep 'til we get old, boy

Then, Grande refers to her lover as "her true love" singing on the chorus:
 

Look at all the things my true love gave to me
My true love, my true love
You are my true love
Look at all the things my true love gave to me
My true love, my true love
You are my true love


 
Winter Things

Winter Things is the last song on Christmas & Chill. The track starts off with a ukulele as Grande sings about refusing to let the warm weather ruin her time with her man on the first verse with:

It ain't even cold outside, not where I'm from
Feeling like it's mid-July under the sun
My jacket don't get no love, no hats and no gloves, not even a chance to rain
But my baby's in town and we're gonna do some winter things

Then, Ariana continues on the chorus singing:


Hey, yo
I wanna pretend we're at the North Pole
Turning the heat into an ice cold holiday
Made just for me and my baby
My baby's in town and we're gonna do some winter things, hey

I love this Christmas & Chill by Ariana. It's much better than her previous one "Christmas Kisses", in my opinion. I enjoyed the experience of where Christmas music meets R&B and trap on this extended play.
 
So, make sure that you buy or stream Christmas & Chill everywhere on Apple Music, Google Play, Spotify and more now:

The Chainsmokers & Halsey - Closer review


 
Closer is a song by DJ Duo The Chainsmokers and singer Halsey that was released on July 29, 2016, through Disruptor Records and Columbia Records.
 
Lyrically, Closer is a future bass pop song that celebrates both youth and heartbreak. Andrew Taggart, one of the members of The Chainsmokers, sings about dealing with a breakup on the pre-chorus with the lyrics:
 

I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no calls
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I can't stop
No, I can't stop

And then, Taggart continues on the chorus with:

So, baby, pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

Halsey comes in being the opposite to Andrew singing:

You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you, I was insane
Stay and play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tucson, okay

I love this song by The Chainsmokers and Halsey. It's very catchy and the meaning behind it all and the fact that it was inspired by I Miss You by Blink-182 is downright amazing.
 
Buy or stream Closer on all streaming platforms:
