Christmas 'Round at Ours, Girls Aloud (Polydor)

A couple of online sources pointed me to this band stating they had a new single out this year, but it turns out the song is part of an album released in 2024, the one I'm about to describe to you. Girls Aloud is a British vocal group formed on a UK TV show a couple decades ago, had several hits in that country, and apparently has been on a hiatus for the last 10 years, reforming to drop this album and a tour. The single, "Not Tonight Santa," is a cheeky little number about elbowing Santa aside because he's distracting the singer from her lover, and the group offers further originals like the LP's upbeat title song, another pop-rocker called "I Wanna Kiss You So (Christmas in a Nutshell)," and the ballad "Count the Days." They fill out the LP with covers of "White Christmas," "Jingle Bell Rock," "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday," and "Merry Xmas Everybody," the latter two, from Wizzard and Slade, easy indicators that the artists are British, and two dance mixes of "Not Tonight Santa." Streaming in all the usual places.
