We’re just weeks away from the Christmas holidays and it would appear as though many musicians are hoping to have their albums under your Christmas tree this season. The South African Idols top 10 will release their Christmas album soon, Justin Bieber released his first single, Mistletoe, for his Christmas album last week and now news of Michael Bublé‘s record is coming too.
The album is called… wait for it…. CHRISTMAS. It is the follow up to his award winning album “Crazy Love” which sold over seven million copies worldwide. On releasing the album, Bublé said, “Christmas has always been my favourite time of the year for me and my family so naturally it’s been a dream of mine to make the ‘ultimate’ Christmas record. Even though it was summer and 95 degrees in LA we totally got into the spirit of the holiday. Of course we decorated the studio with Christmas lights in the middle of July and that was a big help. One more thing, my mother told me it’s the best record I ever made.”
It was produced by David Foster, Bob Rock and Humberto Gatica and it was recorded in Hollywood and Vancouver. You can expect an appearance by Shania Twain too. See the tracklisting below:
