MUSICREVIEWS HANNAH KERR
Christmas Eve in Bethlehem Following her 2017 holiday EP Emmanuel, songwriter and vocalist Hannah Kerr’s Christmas Eve in Bethlehem is a 10-track collection including several Christmas classics, plus two new songs, to joyously kick off the season. Hannah’s smooth, light and airy vocals carry selections such as the title track and “Emmanuel,” both new, as well as the prayer-like “Breath of Heaven” and “Silent Night” sweetly to listeners’ ears. The title track is especially meaningful, as it expresses the full weight and significance of Jesus’ birth, and how that should compel each of us to worship Him. Hannah also adds a lighthearted joy to the set with familiar tunes such as “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “White Christmas” and “Winter Wonderland.” Light a fire, and grab a blanket and some hot cocoa, and let Christmas Eve in Bethlehem warm you up for the holidays.
