    Tinsel is a good holiday album for smart, gentle souls who like fires, sweaters, and evocative songwriting, and who avoid the mall on Black Friday.

    This is the sound of a well established, accomplished singer and production crew that have earned their right to do what they want to a high standard.

    There's nothing here to write home about but it should make a nice stocking filler for Mum.

    While the low-key arrangements and melancholic song choices may make Tinsel And Lights an EastEnders special of a Christmas album, if you're planning on a microwaved turkey dinner for one this year, there's probably no better soundtrack.
