The Kings Men is the close-harmony vocal group formed by the current choral scholars of Kings College, Cambridge. After the success of After Hours, which topped the iTunes Classical Charts in June 2014, for their latest album on the colleges own label, they showcase the lighter side of their seasonal repertoire. Performing a mixture of Christmas tunes you wont be hearing in Nine Lessons and Carols any time soon. Highlights include traditional favourites such as Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer alongside Pat Dunachie (now first alto in the Kings Singers) channelling Mariah Carey on All I Want for Christmas is You and Keith Roberts jocular arrangement of 12 Days of Christmas. Unlike many close harmony groups, The Kings Men record together, balancing their voices acoustically instead of tracking each voice individually. This results in stronger musical cohesion and a more authentic sound. So, whether youre dreaming of a white Christmas, drowning in Christmas cards, waiting to catch a glimpse of Rudolphs red nose or simply wondering when those Lords will stop a leaping all over your lawn, this is an essential addition to your Christmas playlist.
