about

Nohelani Cypriano's out-of-print 1986 Christmas single provides the title song of this beautiful new album. A duet with her mother, Leina'ala Simerson, provides the sentimental highlight. When mother and daughter sing "Silent Night" in English and Hawaiian it's the first time they've recorded together.

"Silent Night" is the one song with Hawaiian lyrics. The others are mainstream holiday standards ranging from "Do You Hear What I Hear?" and "White Christmas" to an extended seven-song medley done disco style.

Most of the songs are arranged in the familiar synthesizer-pop style of Cypriano's longtime collaborator, synthetic music specialist Dennis Graue.

Cypriano's strong renditions of "Merry Christmas Darling" and "Do You Hear What I Hear?" will appeal most to local pop listeners, although her original, "Blue Hawaiian Christmas," and the duet with Mom most merit local airplay.

Two other season standards - "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "The Christmas Song" - are also notable.

Nothing on "Blue Hawaiian Christmas" will disappoint or surprise Cypriano fans, but it's her voice that makes this album a welcome addition to the already crowded discography of local Christmas albums. She could sing almost anything and make it sound good. She does exactly that here, and includes lyrics and full production credits as well.

Well done, Nohe!
