Downloaded this morning on Spotify when released, first I must say I love Dionne, but so far I am not convinced about this album, arrangements does not inspire, but also vocals do not seem strong on many tracks, hope that it may grow, but guests are also weak?

I am a huge Dionne fan but i am not very excited about this release. Her previous festive album was quite pleasant, but her voice was in better shape than it is now.

Sadly, I have to agree with you. I was disappointed. I was impressed though that some tracks had some very lush strings in the background. Her voice has unfortunately changed with age and lifestyle, but I believe she sounds better on the current live videos I've watched on Youtube than on this album. I think she was trying to use her higher whispy head voice on a lot of the tracks, but it came off also sounding weak and limited in range. I think she could still put out some solid recordings with the right producer. These recordings don't really show her off in the best light. I like the cover photo/art though. She looks very sweet and lovely.

I couldn't finish listening to it. I was only hearing a damaged voice. It was like Aretha Franklin, I couldn't listen to her new music either.
She has record deals, so someone likes what she's doing, she been putting out a lot of music lately.

It did grow a little more on me last night, but only around 4 tracks, sadly I could not even recognise the voice of Johnny Mathis, who I have always loved so much.
