AMG Review of Brand New Year

Maria Konicki Dinoia
All Music Guide

The Osborn sisters and producer Dan Huff put a new spin on holiday music and put some funk in Christmas. Anything but country, Brand New Year is truly a treat for all music listeners. The incomparable harmonies of Kristyn, Kassidy, and Kelsi grace every song on the 12-song collection of new and old holiday music. But the Osborn sisters give their own delicious sound to tradition. "Deck the Halls," "Jingle Bells," and "Sleigh Ride" have all been consecrated with the melodious sound that is uniquely SheDaisy. And the girls give the Andrews Sisters a run for their money on "Santa's Got a Brand New Bag," sounding much like "The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." Although Christmas albums generally do little to further a career, SheDaisy better be prepared -- Brand New Year is sure to be under every tree, making them a household name.
