EDITORS’ NOTES

With original songs cowritten by Sia and longtime collaborator Greg Kurstin (Adele, Beck, Foo Fighters), Everyday Is Christmas is a refreshing take on the often-tiresome seasonal record. This album is pure joy: Cheery melodies, bright instrumentation and ever-present jingle bells light up merrily titled tracks like “Candy Cane Lane,” “Puppies Are Forever,” and “Sunshine” with enough happiness to warm even the Grinch’s heart, while the bluesy “Snowman” and soaring title track add depth. The deluxe version offers three additions, including the album’s lone cover, a strutting take on Perry Como’s “Round and Round” from 1957.
