“The Christmas Tree” is a bright, peppy seasonal track from Peter Senior, a Sydney-based singer/songwriter whose previous two releases, Cool Ride and Baby I Love You, drew praise for their infusion of retro rock/pop styles. This holiday release aptly is an upbeat, melodic take, with Senior’s crisp croon aligning well with various key-laden twinkles and melodic guitars. It’s a track that touts an optimistic spirit, making it an enjoyable listen even as the day passes. It’s structurally straightforward, as most Christmas songs are, though does the important thing in capturing a fun-loving holiday spirit in audible form.
