New Christmas albums that will entertain the whole family
HONEYDEW – Music is a great way to bring the family together during the Christmas season.
The festive season is a great time to bond with family while engaging in family traditions that bring you closer together. Christmas carols and music plays a role in this, as well as entertaining the family.
Most people have fond memories of singing Christmas carols with their families as a timeless bonding experience that encourages everyone to sing along. Gone are the days where Bony M’s When a Child is Born, Christmas album was on repeat at every Christmas gathering year in and year out.
Since the Bony M era, a number of well-known artists have released urban Christmas albums comprising their own versions of Christmas carols. Artist such as Micheal Buble, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber and Josh Groban have done this.
These artists not only sing their own renditions of timeless Christmas Classics but also original songs, to listen to while bonding with your family.
Grammy-award winning singer Mariah Carey released her first Christmas album, Merry Christmas, in 1994 with the all-time classic All I want for Christmas is You, which sold 15 million copies making it the best-selling album of all time.
Canadian singer Micheal Buble released an album entitled, Christmas, that features his rendition of the classic White Christmas, featuring Shania Twain and Jingle Bells, featuring Puppini Sisters.
For Justin Bieber fans, the pop star’s album Under the Mistletoe is the first Christmas album released by the Canadian-born singer.
It is the first, male-artist Christmas album to debut at number one on the United States Billboard Awards. This album will definitely be a favourite to draw the younger generations into the Christmas spirit.
The most recent Christmas releases include Kylie Minogue, who released her much-anticipated first Christmas album on 13 November titled, Kylie Christmas which features a number of our favourite traditional tracks such as Have Yourself a Merry Christmas and Santa Baby. LeAnn Rimes released her second Christmas album, Today is Christmas, where her powerful voice shines on her single, Holly Jolly Christmas.
These albums can be bought at your nearest music stores, so get them before they are sold out.
