Its a staple (though somewhat forgotten on today's airwaves) of pop-soul Christmas songs: Stevie Wonder's allegorical "One Little Christmas Tree" which uses the image of a solitary tree serving as a beacon to a strife-torn world was an instant hit on its release in 1967, at the height of the Vietnam War and other world crises.
Now a generation later, Jamaican reggae-soul artist Tanice Morrison has given Wonder's Christmas gem the "yard-style" treatment. One Likkle Christmas' Tree' features production by Demar 'Keysie Gayle and the singer's gently endearing style transposing the lyrics.
the inflections may be Jamaican but the spirit of the message is Morrison, says universal
"One Little Christmas Tree' has always been a favorite of mine ever since and love the message of unity among men."
The single is available from the artist, at http://www.tanicemorrison.net/ as well as atthe customary digital music outlets (iTunes, etc)
STARTING FROM IN THE EARLY 80’S WHEN SHE WAS JUST A LITTLE GIRL GOING TO THE STUDIO WITH HER MOTHER, STUDIO ONE RECORDING ARTISTE, KETURAHDUFFUS. HER MOTHER HAS ALWAYS BEEN HER STRONGEST SUPPORTER AND THE LITTLE GIRL INSIDE TANICE HAS NEVER FORGOTTEN THE MANY CHALLENGES SHE FACE GROWING UP AND ALWAYS DOES HER BEST TO MAKE HER MOTHER PROUD.
BEING SURROUNDED BY A LOT OF MUSIC, TANICE TOOK HER SINGING QUITE SERIOUSLY. SHE ENTERED SEVERAL COMPETITIONS INCLUDING THE RED LABEL WINE SONG COMPETITION (1997), WHERE SHE ADVANCED TO THE FINALS AS THE SOLE FEMALE CONTESTANT BUT NEVER WON. BUT THAT ONLY SERVED TO STRENGTHEN THE YOUNG SINGER.
