专辑介绍

★台湾史上最畅销圣诞专辑重新以欧洲版限量供货

★天后歌唱生涯最具节庆气氛的专属专辑

★收录圣诞必备欢乐单曲” All I Want For Christmas Is You”、传统★圣诞名曲Silent Night、O Holy Night等10首圣诞金曲

以超白金专辑 Music Box 在台湾获得四十万张以上销售数字的Mariah Carey，挟著史无前例的空前纪录，于九四年推出首张个人圣诞专辑。此次他与长期合作的製作人Walter Afanasieff (Michael Bolton、NKOTB)再度的连袂携手，也由于Mariah参予製作工作，在拥有深厚灵魂乐演唱经验的背景下，整张专辑更显得温馨与平易近人。整张圣诞专辑融合了极为独特的灵魂乐曲风，不论是由她和Walter合作轻快活泼的 "All I Want For Christmas Is You"，"Miss You Most(At Christmas Time)"，充分展现黑人灵魂色彩的传统歌曲"silent Night"、"Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"，融入大量合音的"Jesus Oh Wonderful Child"、"Born On The Day"等歌曲，不得不让人佩服，Mariah将圣诞歌曲以灵魂乐出发的勇气。

Merry Christmas is the fourth studio album and first Christmas album by American singer Mariah Carey. Released by Columbia Records on November 1, 1994, the album features cover versions of popular Christmas tunes and original material. Carey worked with Walter Afanasieff, with whom she wrote all of the original tracks, as well as producing Carey's interpretations of the covered material. The album contains a contemporary holiday theme, and featured "authentic, gospel flavored background vocals."

The album features instrumentation from keyboards, bass guitars, drums, percussion and heavy backing vocals. After its release, the album received generally positive reviews and became a worldwide success. Critics praised Carey's uplifting and flavored vocals, as well as her skilled songwriting alongside Afanasieff. Singles were released from the album, being sent to different radio stations for promotional purposes.

Merry Christmas was released at the peak of the initial stretch of Carey's career, between Music Box (1993) and Daydream (1995). The album produced the worldwide classic single, "All I Want for Christmas Is You", which became the best-selling holiday ringtone in the US. The album has sold 5,298,000 copies in the United States as of April 2013 according to Nielsen SoundScan, and has been certified five-times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipment of five million copies in the United States. In Japan, Merry Christmas has sold over 2,500,000 copies and is the second best-selling album of all time by a non-Asian artist, behind only Carey's other release Number 1's. Merry Christmas has sold over 15 million copies worldwide and is the best-selling Christmas album of all time. (wiki)

Pretensions to high opera on "O Holy Night" and a horrid dance club take on "Joy to the World." On the positive side, her co-penned (one of three) "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is a well-crafted Phil Spector tribute, with Beach Boys-style harmonies, jangling bells, and a sleigh-ride pace, injecting one of the few bits of exuberant fun in this otherwise vanilla set.
