Cliff Richard is taking an unexpected musical route toward Christmas. According to NME, the singer says he is learning reggae as he prepares a new version of “The Lord Is My Shepherd” for a festive single.
The prospect has already inspired a little online comedy. NME highlighted one listener’s skepticism about the pairing and another’s cannabis-themed nickname for Richard. Those reactions are to the idea, though—not evidence of how the finished recording will sound.
The intriguing question is how Richard will bring reggae’s rhythmic character to the devotional song. The supplied report offers no release date or further recording details, leaving the musical execution an open question for now.
