Joss Stone, ‘What Christmas Means to Me’

-

The British soul-pop singer tackles the 1967 classic popularize­d by Stevie Wonder among the 16 songs on her debut Christmas album, “Merry Christmas, Love.” Two new tracks – “If

You Believe” and “Bring On Christmas Day” – are tucked amid favorites including “Let It Snow,” “Jingle Bells” and “Silent Night,” but Stone’s rendition of Wonder’s bop adds a touch of torch singer vocals and a swinging horn break for impactful appeal.
