This singer-songwriter identifies as pop-folk, and for 2015 she's combined three originals and three carols into an enjoyable EP. "It's Merry Christmas Time" is the likely choice for a single, a midtempo stomp with full rhythm section and horns. She breaks out the ukelele for "Christmas Glow" and calls for "Peace On Earth Tonight" in a stately ballad. Also on the playlist is an almost 70s rock ballad version of "Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming," a straight reading of "O Holy Night" and a mild reggae take on "Winter Wonderland." Miranda sounds great on all of these songs, and though the vibe is mostly mellow you might still want to get yourself over to Bandcamp or NoiseTrade for this.
