Review: Snowflake by The Rainbow Collections

Uh hello? Where's my snow? I've got wellies this year and everything.
London seems to have been bypassed by the snow fairy... it's frosty but that's not much fun.

At least I have something snow related... I've been listening to Snowflake, the last in the trilogy from The Rainbow Collections. It's a compilation of festive songs, some traditional such as Little Donkey, some classics like Winter Wonderland and a new song "Santa's Little Helpers'. All are sung by Sophie from Zero 7 and have the same contemporary edge to them that Toybox did.

K loves jumping around to Frosty the Snowman and it's definitely been getting us into the Christmas spirit. There's only so much Cliff Richard, Slade and Shaky that I can take (don't get me wrong, I love a bit of cheese but when I've heard Noddy Holder wail "It's Chreeeeesmass" for the twentieth time I feel like stabbing myself in the eye with holly).

I'm not so keen on Santa's Little Helpers, maybe it'll grow on me, but the other tracks are a lovely mix of calm songs for you to listen to with your little ones, and tunes you can all bounce about to.

It's available to buy from Amazon, Play.com and HMV.
