Grammy award-winning British singer and songwriter Joss Stone announces her first-ever Xmas album, Merry Christmas, Love, out digitally on September 30th via S-Curve/Hollywood Records. A physical CD release will follow on October 21st and Vinyl will be available on November 11th, the album’s UK impact date. To mark the occasion, Joss shares the first single from the project, the spirited Stevie Wonder classic, “What Christmas Means to Me.” The video is forthcoming.
Of the song, Joss says “It really puts a smile on my face and makes me think of all the unique things that make Christmas special to me. Great lyrics by the legend that is Stevie Wonder. What a fun song to have amongst the wonder and magic of this album.”
Inspired by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby and Michael Buble, the album celebrates the holiday season with fifteen classic Christmas tracks including favourites such as “Winter Wonderland”, “Let It Snow”, “Jingle Bells”, “Silent Night” and more, plus two new original songs written by Joss, “If You Believe” and “Bring On Christmas Day” - a track celebrating her lifetime love for the joyful holiday. In a teaser Joss shared while working in the studio she states, “I have thought about making a Christmas album for years, I am Christmas obsessed!” She also enthusiastically explains that the Christmas songs that she grew up listening to are covered in orchestra, which is ever present on this collection.
