Michael Krätz - If This Is Christmas

blithespirit

Review by Jim Bowman

If This Is Christmas by Michael Krätz is a delightful album that will get anyone in the holiday spirit. The album features a mix of classic Christmas songs and original compositions that showcase Krätz's talent as a songwriter and musician.

The album opens with the lively and upbeat "Christmas Time" which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Krätz's voice is warm and inviting, and the instrumentation is expertly crafted to create a festive atmosphere.

One of the highlights of the album is the title track "If This Is Christmas." The song is a beautiful ballad that captures the essence of the holiday season. Krätz's voice is emotive, and the lyrics are poignant and reflective.

Another standout track is "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." Krätz's take on the classic song is fresh and modern, with a funky beat and jazzy instrumentation that make it stand out from other versions.

About Michael Krätz

Danish singer, drummer, guitarist, songwriter and WestCoast/AOR artist. Back to the roots& Michael has been around in his musical career, which started back in 1980. When Michael was 8 years old, the family moved from Copenhagen to Jutland. After a few months his stepfather started the music project Vildbjerg Garden and Michael became the first member of this  it was the beginning of a long musical journey. After Vildbjerg Garden it was the rock music that drew and Michael started up the band Way Up, which after a few years won a music talent contest at nightclub Jacobs in Aarhus. The victory in the music contest gave Way Up a record contract, which the band never exploited. Some of the band members wanted to follow their education instead of believing in a music career, and soon after the band vanished. Soon after the split up of Way Up a couple of the members formed Northern Affairs as Michael quickly joined in. For more than a year the three bandmembers recorded songs and worked on a album, unfortunally the energy ran out of the band, and the album never hit the streets. Then it was time to seek new challenges and Michael joined the band Main Event, which played Fussion and instrumental heavy rock. Main Event had a several live jobs and was also supporting act to Kim Larsen. Unfortunately, the bass player was killed in a traffic accident, and Main Event stopped thereafter. On the side of the rock career, Michael Kratz worked as studio musician recording with many of the most popular acts in the Danish pop genre. Furthermore also played live with several artists and the last 8 years as drummer in Kandis, one of the best selling acts in this genre in Denmark. Now it os time to get back to the roots, and start from square one and have started to realize his old dream of a career as a rock musician.  Ive always had a crazy urge to challenge myself and since I was a teenager, Ive promised myself to go after my dreams. To test myself as a solo artist is one of them, and it is time for it, says Michael Kratz. This illustrates just Michael Kratz thoroughness and ambition to really have something to say before he makes an album. On Cross That Line he presents his own compositions and English texts  and not least his vocals, scratchy as Bruce Springsteens. Names like just Springsteen and Danish Big Fat Snake echoes in Kratz songs, were the drums is also changed out with the guitar.
