Albums
Kelly Clarkson
Wrapped in Red
Thankfully, much of Kelly Clarkson’s first
holiday album, Wrapped in Red, makes
a grinch’s job a little less arduous. It’s a
surprisingly secular effort for a singer who
prides herself on being a good Southern
Christian, with the only mentions of Jesus
coming during a country-inflected rendition of the obligatory “Silent Night,” featuring Clarkson’s buddies Reba McEntire and
Trisha Yearwood, and the understated “O
Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” relegated to
the Target edition of the album. Clarkson
agilely rips through a series of nonreligious
standards and original tunes, as well as a
cover of Imogen Heap’s “Just for Now,”
whose reference to “that time of year”
appears to be the sole justification, lyrical
or otherwise, for its inclusion.

Beyonce
With her self-titled, fifth studio album, Beyonce explores empowerment through her
own sexuality and vulnerability reminding
the world of her iconic status.
In a time where a corporate tech company like Samsung buys a million copies of
your husband Jay Z’s Magna Carta Holy
Grail before it hits retail and your family
friend Kanye West literally builds a mountain every night in a different city for every
show on his Yeezus tour, how does Beyoncé up the wow factor? By unexpectedly
releasing a self-titled album, without any
promotion, filled with 14 tracks and 17
videos on a Friday morning and almost
going platinum over the weekend.
