iTunes Single of the Week

Something About December
Christina Perri


“Something about December” is the opening song on Philadelphia-raised singer/songwriter Christina Perri’s EP A Very Merry Perri Christmas. This holiday ballad is propelled by Perri’s sensitive piano playing, steadily building into a tender winter warmer. “There’s something about December,” emotes Perri in a honeyed voice, conveying a glowing sentiment: “Every Christmas dream/They live in you and me.” Perri’s sophomore full-length album, Head or Heart, is slated for a spring 2014 release.
