December (Reigan Derry EP)

I wanted to pay respect to the original songs by keeping the melodies and lyrics the same but changing the structure, tempo and chords."

[5] Sounds of Oz said; "This isn’t the Christmas EP that you put on if you want a big family sing-a-long.

Reigan’s taken the bare bones of Christmas carols and traditional songs of worship and reinterpreted them beautifully, giving them new names and changing a word here or there to make them more modern.

I must admit, I'm not familiar with the Lutheran carol “O Come O Come Emmanuel,” but the Middle Eastern vibe of her version, called “Rejoice,” is so musically interesting and moving.

With her strumming her acoustic guitar and friends lending their vocals to the chorus, it feels like a family jam at Reigan's house.
