Various Artists – NOW Wonderful Christmas – Target Exclusive Vinyl Record

NOW Wonderful Christmas presents Various Artists in a release with a clear musical identity rather than a loose collection of songs. The double album blends contemporary holiday pop with mid-century standards, moving from recent radio favorites to songs that have anchored Christmas listening for generations. The album invites complete-sequence listening: individual tracks have enough character to stand alone, but the writing, performances, and production reveal more when the program is allowed to unfold in its intended order.

Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani with Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Pentatonix, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Justin Bieber lead the modern material; Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Burl Ives, Andy Williams, Ella Fitzgerald, Brenda Lee, Donny Hathaway, and Darlene Love provide the classic foundation. That ordering gives the record a natural sense of movement, with the opening establishing its world, the middle deepening or complicating the mood, and the closing selections leaving the final impression. Transitions in tempo, texture, and point of view become especially noticeable when the songs are heard together instead of reduced to a few familiar singles.

Pop sheen, country warmth, close harmony, big-band swing, soul, and traditional orchestration give the twenty tracks genuine contrast. The production supports those choices without flattening the performers into one unchanging sound. Vocals, rhythm, instrumental color, and space are balanced from track to track, allowing immediate hooks to coexist with smaller details that become clearer after several plays.

Brand new, never played and still sealed in the factory plastic
