It’s Christmas Party Time
Loads of Christmas songs are all about the nostalgia and the slow, wistful mood, but “It’s Christmas Party Time” is quite the opposite. It’s all about letting go. Clark positions the Christmas season as an opportunity to put the year’s stresses aside, to get the people you love together and just have a good time. There’s a real warmth to it all in terms of the message, about the value of connection and the sheer uplift that shared fun can provide after a difficult period.
The sound is absolutely in keeping with that mood. It’s bright pop energy right through with bouncy percussion and some very bouncy guitar lines to keep the tempo up. The chorus is huge and really opens out, it’s an open invitation to get up and dance. Clark’s voice is warm and clear and he’s singing with real enthusiasm rather than any kind of slickness at all. It’s a very friendly, welcoming sound and it’s absolutely the sort of thing you’d expect from a classic Christmas song with a modern twist. Perfect for an office party, a family gathering or a festive drive.
Final Thoughts
“It’s Christmas Party Time” is just absolutely unashamedly upbeat. Mick J. Clark isn’t attempting to do anything particularly original with a Christmas song. He’s just trying to get people to smile and get moving and he does that very well with a great chorus and a very genuine vocal. It’s a very cheerful, feel good song and is definitely one you’d want on your Christmas party playlist this year.
