Taylor Momsen's Pretty Reckless Christmas, The Pretty Reckelss (Fearless)

Taylor was Cindy Lou Who in the Grinch movie featuring Jim Carrey back a quarter-century ago, and since then she's done a bunch of things including fronting the rock band named above. For 2025 they're capitalizing on their singer's history in releasing this EP, six songs kicked off with Jay Leno introducing the grade-school-age Taylor on the Tonight Show, two of which, "Where Are You Christmas?" and "Christmas, Why Can't I Find You," originate with the above-mentioned movie, although they're both actually the same song, the former starting off with the young Taylor's voice flown in followed by the band kicking the song into a rock tempo. The latter is a short ballad in keeping with the original. The rest are band compositions, with "I Wanna Be Your Christmas Tree" and "Christmas Is Killing Me" being strong uptempo rock numbers and "Blues On Christmas" pretty much as advertised, with some tasteful lead guitar. "When We Were Young" is a short piano ballad that simply leads into the similar "Christmas, Why Can't I Find You." Not too shabby. Find it on Amazon or Bandcamp or just stream it.
