'A Merry Eleri Christmas' is the brand new festive EP from Welsh singer-songwriter Eleri Angharad. The EP features four tracks and begins with an original song titled 'Homemade Christmas'.
'Homemade Christmas' has a warm and classic feel with light bells and piano accompaniment. The plucked strings in the backing add to the festive atmosphere as Eleri describes a couple spending their first Christmas holiday together. It is a welcoming and festive introduction to this four-track EP. 'Mistletoe', a cover of Justin Bieber's Christmas song, moves towards a more country instrumental with strummed guitar and gentle vocals. Eleri's vocals are reminiscent of Ellie Goulding's 'Guns and Horses' era; the cover displays the Welsh singer's talent for adding her unique spin to popular Christmas songs.
'Santa's Little Helper' is a moody and sultry track that incorporates elements of blues, a song that describes being single at Christmas. This song is a nice contrast to 'Homemade Christmas' that describes spending the festive season with loved ones.
The last track to feature on 'A Merry Eleri Christmas' is a cover of a Christmas classic, 'Santa Baby'. This stripped-back version places emphasis on the lyrics, accompanied by a lightly strummed guitar that concludes this EP.
