David Foster and Katharine McPhee are once again keen to share their Christmas joy with the world. The duo have recorded seven new Christmas classics to add to last year’s successful Christmas release “Christmas Songs”, including a performance with the famous Tabernacle Choir. “Christmas Songs” was David and Kat’s first ever Christmas release. It was also the first time the two had recorded songs together in 17 years. They had so much fun recording that they decided to go back into the studio and record more songs for the Christmas season. The seven classics are: “Santa Baby”, “Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”, “We Three Kings”, “Snow”, “Amazing Grace” featuring Tabernacle Choir”, “Carol of the Bells” and “Away in the Manger”.

The first single from the Christmas album will be a stunning version of “Amazing Grace” with the famous Tabernacle Choir, recorded and filmed in Temple Square. David says of “Amazing Grace” and working with the Tabernacle Choir, “I’ve had the opportunity to work with the Tabernacle Choir on a few occasions. To say they are spectacular is an understatement. We put all the power we could muster together with this great choir. “Amazing Grace” is one of those songs that evokes so much emotion. From the first note of the bagpipes to the last note, this song seems to mean something different to everyone, from sad to happy and everything in between. We hope we have given this song the honour it deserves.”

“We had a lot of fun recording the songs last year. This year we really wanted to dig deep and add 7 more songs to make an even bigger album and throw everything we had at our disposal into the mix, from the rock guitar on “WE THREE KINGS” to the Tabernacle Choir on “AMAZING GRACE” to the simplicity of Kat’s spectacular song “ITS BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS”, which is just vocals and piano. We also had a lot of fun reworking an old song of mine called “CAROL OF THE BELLS” and adding vocals. We put a lot of heart and soul into it and we hope it shows. Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year for so many people. We want to celebrate that joy with all of you.” (David Foster)
