Heard of HEIRess?
Whether you have or haven’t, this Washington, DC trio’s Christmas EP is a brief but blessed listening experience.
HEIRess is Kiyanna (Kiki) Rivers, Kalilia (Lili) Wilson, Mumen (Mookie) Ngenge. The ladies look marvelous, sound marvelous…heck, even their names have a musicality. The group’s sense of style is evocative of Trin-i-Tee 5:7.
On Once Upon an Heiress Christmas, the trio sings a Christmas medley; “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” from Meet Me in St. Louis; and Vince Guaraldi’s classic Charlie Brown carol, “Christmas Time is Here.” All three selections are perfectly suited to their sugar sweet harmonies and occasional launches into Take 6 complexity. The production is as crystal clear and delicate as the ladies’ voices.
If you like your Christmas carols with sweet harmonies, Once Upon an Heiress Christmas is for you. Although this EP is from 2010, the music is timeless.
