Warm This Winter - Gabriella Climi

Of all the Christmas songs which have been recorded, only the best can make it into The Lucy Museum of Musicians who deserve entry to Lucy's Museum of Musicians and at number one we have Warm This Winter by Gabriella Climi.

If you are Australian you probably know this song from adverts for the Co-operative stores because this version of the song began life as an advertisement for the grocery store and they chose Gabriella Climi to remake the Connie Francis hit from the 60s.  
It has also been used by Orange and Virgin for their adverts so someone has coined it in but Gabriella Climi had a couple of songs which crept into the low reaches of the UK charts and then quietly crept out again and this one was her biggest hit getting to number 22 in 2008 although it never makes it onto the Christmas song rotation on the TV Music Channels because the record company never bothered to make a video for it.
It's a very bouncy, bubble-gum pop record with that double drum beat and i am a sucker for a double drum beat, their must be a psychological reason for that, but also Climi has a nice raspy voice which sounds like she is just getting over a cold and although she only mentions Christmas in passing, it has fire-places, ice skating on a frozen lake, snow and sleigh riding so that's every box ticked for me, great song.
