I got to know Mazzy Star when they released 'Fade into you' (1994), a beautiful dreamy pop song. It was the group's biggest hit, peaking at no. 48 in the UK singles chart, until they released this single. 'Flowers in December' was released in 1996 and peaked at no. 40. In the Netherlands, they remained totally unknown.
I bought this single on the strength of 'Fade into you', hoping that this song would be equally wonderful. In short: it is.
