Anyway, that's how it was tonight, pretty much. First song I made it all the way through (and thus worthy of being featured here today) was Heather Jeanette's "It's Not Christmas Without You". The song is basically a Pop song (not that there's anything wrong with that), but not a Bubblegum or Disney song. Production values were certainly top notch. Subject matter's pretty much been done to death. Two things, though. Heather's got a great voice that she uses well. And the song itself, and the overall sound--I could hear that song, that sound, in pretty much any format...from Indie Rock to Country all the way to Radio Disney and everything in between. (And it doesn't hurt that she looks cute in a Santa hat. Just sayin'.) There's not a doubt in my mind that Heather's got a promising future and I just like to get on a bandwagon early while I can still pick out a good seat. So I went straight to Facebook and "Liked" her. Yes, I did.
Heather's worked with some pretty big names, with the biggest listed being Kelly Clarkson, and she's currently writing songs for her debut album.
In addition to her original, "It's Not Christmas Without You", Heather's also dropped a cover of "Little Drummer Boy". Both are free via Soundcloud.
