Stella Cole - Snow!

Would that all Christmas albums and EPs were like this one — they have a tendency to overstay their welcome ‘roundabout track 7. Stella Cole’s Snow! (La Reserve) is just right in every respect, however. It’s a warm, creamy, and sweet mug of audio cocoa.

Cole is a young singer with considerable gifts who has reached a refreshingly enthusiastic new generation of listeners for the Great American Songbook on TikTok and YouTube. She’s been delivering on her early promise, and she’s recently released her eponymous first album.

Given her love for old musicals, it’s not surprising that Snow! features songs from Meet Me in St. Louis and White Christmas. The great Alan Broadbent plays piano on most tracks and did some of the lush, old-school string arrangements.
