Back in 2008, these three women--all successful solo artists in Sweden--got together to record a Christmas album. That album, "Our Christmas", was sung entirely in English (well, except for "Ave Maria"). The album went platinum in just 10 days.
So now Sanna Nielsen, Shirley Clamp and Sonja Alden have reunited for a second Christmas album. This one is called "Var Jul" (translation: "Our Christmas") and is sung entirely in Swedish. Shirley is sort of Sweden's answer to Kelly Clarkson. Not sure what comparisons they make for the other two but, you know, somewhere in that same neighborhood.
From the song samples, I want to compare the sound, here, to Wilson-Phillips (insulting everyone, I'm sure), but only when they're singing harmony vocals. Often, though, they just trade leads. Fortunately, we do have song samples for this one, so feel free to listen and draw your own conclusions.
The original "Our Christmas" can be purchased through Amazon.
