Colbie Caillat celebrates Christmas on the beach in her recently released new video for the fun-loving Christmas track, "Christmas In the Sand," the lead single and title track from her debut Christmas album, "Christmas in the Sand." Whether we want to admit it or not, Christmas is right here and other than gift giving and receiving, the Christmas tunes are the best part.
Having lived in sunny southern California her entire life, Caillat has quiet experienced the so-called joys of "white Christmases," the 27-year-old Malibu-born and two-time Grammy winning singer songwriter brings her easy going rhythms and breezy style to this album, which breaks from traditional (and boring) compilations in that it features four original Christmas songs and eight holiday standards. It's not the same old renditions that have been playing for 60 years, and Caillat provides a low-level musical hum that induces feelings of happiness, warmth, and joy.
Caillat told Billboard she wrote this upbeat and fun track during her vacation on a small album in Bali, "I was thinking, what do they listen to over here [Hawaii] at Christmas time? I bet they don't always want to hear songs about white Christmases and bundling up 'cause it's cold outside. They want to have a holiday song they can relate to." Caillat teamed up with frequent writing partners Kara DioGuardi and Jason Reeves to craft the bubbly and admittedly silly track, "Kara started coming up with all these funny lyrics about Santa falling off his surf board and Rudolf playing reindeer games on me," she says.
Filmed in Malibu and directed by Roman White, throughout this sunny take on a Christmas song, the lovely California girl rocks a typical California look and makes it look pretty darn appealing as she bounces around on a beach singing in a breathy voice about Santa in his bathing suit. Caillat's voice is strong, yet sweet, and the song is definitely fits to my kind of warm California Christmas. The upbeat tune of the song makes you want to sway in your seat. Her voice reminds me of fellow singer songwriter Sarah Bareilles so if you're a fan of hers you'll definitely be pleased with this album.
