Eloise Laws’ Christmas Lullaby Single “Sweet Little Jesus Boy” is Available Now on iTunes
(November 29, 2012 - Los Angeles, CA)
Countdown to Christmas with the latest single by world- renowned jazz/R&B vocalist Eloise Laws. Just in time for the Holiday Season, Laws’ “Sweet Little Jesus Boy,” is available for download now on iTunes. The classic Christmas lullaby, written in the style of an African American spiritual by Robert MacGimsey in 1934, was beautifully arranged for Laws’ angelic voice by Kamau Kenyatta.
“The magic of making Christmas music is a tradition in my family,” said Laws, who is the sister to the internationally heralded Laws family of musicians: flutist Hubert, saxophonist Ronnie, and vocalist Debra. “I was inspired to record my favorite Christmas song because I felt it was timely to remind people of the need for hope, courage, and perseverance through life’s struggles, and adversities. This is a song that expresses that message.”
Laws’ exquisite rendition of this classic song is distinctly different from other noted recordings as reflected in the description by A. Scott Galloway, music editor for The Urban Music Scene, “Blessed with an evocative arrangement for piano, hand drums, aching violin and sweet-sweet kalimba, Eloise’s voice drips with soulfully operatic reverence, placing you at the scene of the birth, inviting you to linger long and bask in the wonder.”
The music of the season can transform the bleakest days bright with hope. Ms. Laws’ voice brings to listeners an undeniable sound of peace and love. Director/Actor Bill Duke remarked, “God taught his favorite angel how to sing then named her Eloise Laws.”
Sweet Little Jesus Boy was recorded under SRI International Entertainment in association with Angel Island Records Label. For more about other recordings, visit www.eloiselaws.com and like her on Facebook.
