Bette Midler - Cool Yule [2006]

Posted on September 22, 2008 | Category: Christmas

The CD opens strong with “Merry Christmas.” This song boasts a great musical arrangement and Bette’s voice is in excellent form–as it is throughout this album! Then the CD shifts gears and revs up the motors a little bit with “Cool Yule.” This song, written by Steve Allen with additional lyrics by Eric Kornfeld, is a lot of fun and you’ll be eager to listen to it again and again!

Another fun song on this CD is “Mele Kalikimaka.” This is how to say “Merry Christmas” in Hawaiian; this adds a very personal touch to the CD because Bette was born in the state of Hawaii. It offers a great musical composition that starts off with a brief romantic flavor and then twists into a very catchy tune! Could this be a new classic in the making? I think this song will become increasingly popular with time as it is very well written and Bette does a great job with it. The numerous background vocalists are wonderful as well.
