Holiday Cheer in June: Sixpence None the Richer's "Angels We Have Heard on High"
When you read about the band Sixpence None the Richer, you may immediately get that "Kiss Me" song in your head, and/or your memory flies back to that scene in She's All That when Rachel Leigh Cook comes down the stairs in slow-motion in that red dress — just before tripping in her heels. Or maybe that's just me.
Well, the recently reunited band with the high-pitched girly-voiced frontwoman Leigh Nash is currently putting the finishing touches on a Christmas album, The Dawn of Grace, due to hit stores October 14. And right now Billboard.com is streaming a track from it, "Angels We Have Heard on High" in its entirety. It's pretty clever of Billboard, which I generally turn to just to read music-related news, to embed a song within an article. At first glance, I was a little skeptical about a Sixpence None the Richer holiday album, but after hearing the song I'm pretty much sold. It's truly a lovely and sweet tune, and while it's not exactly summery music, it still makes for a pretty song.
Head over to Billboard to check it out, and tell me what you think. Merry Christmas, six months early!
