There’s a style that’s become synonymous with the 21st-century Christmas: the sound of a grown adult singing like a child, their breath misting on a window like a spray of fake snow, old classics being turned into virtuous, fragile facsimiles. Kate Rusby has one of these voices pretty to many, mawkish to others and it has little variety or power on her fourth collection of festive songs. Let It Snow and Deck the Halls are delivered in the same disengaged, delicate way; each lyric falls and then melts, leaving no mark behind. Modern songs such as Santa Never Brings Me a Banjo feel slushily tailored to tug the heart (“maybe it’s too tricky for the elves”, Rusby sings); heavenly gleam is only offered on the traditional ballad Paradise, which recalls the ambient atmospheres of Clannad. Overall, though, this feels like a John Lewis Christmas advert extended to 52 minutes, its mannered naivety never knowingly undersold. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/nov/23/kate-rusby-angels-men-review-pure-records-christmas
