HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2006: Holiday music gifts
Whether you're checking off that list early or are waiting until the last minute, smart gift givers know that CDs are perfect presents: quick to pack for flights home, relatively inexpensive, and (usually) easy to exchange. Below we've highlighted some favorite releases from the past year to help you in your quest for the perfect music to give--or to get.
Rock/Pop |
|
The authors of arguably the most infectious, stick-in-your-head pop tune of the '90s show a new love of hard hooks and red-blooded rock guitars on their latest LP, Super Extra Gravity.
 |
Electronic |
|
The infectious vocals of Italian expatriate Sabina Sciubba are at the forefront of these swooping harmonies, adding to the music's seductiveness. The melodies unfold in controlled cascades of breathy exhalations.
|
Hip-hop/R&B |
|
Rap transactions have never been the same since Snoop came to regulate, and he's not privatizing anytime soon. His eclectic new LP, Tha Blue Carpet Treatment, even brings some hyphy peals to Long Beach, where they're co-opted on the terms of the most original G.
|
Jazz |
|
The Verve-label star reaches into her heart, departing from her standard, jazz-inspired fare with a soothing tribute to the Christmas season. Equally fitting for a candlelit holiday evening or a chic Christmas party, these holiday favorites are revived by this Canadian ingenue's breathy and sumptuous voice.
