Product Description
With a double album celebrating all sides of the season—burnished by guests including Rod Stewart, the boxer Tyson Fury, and his own father—Williams is most certainly here for Christmas. It’s a natural fit. The pop icon lavishes everything here with full-wattage charm, and as 2001’s big-band covers record Swing When You’re Winning showed, he knows his way around a timeless standard.
Those standards are fine additions to the traditional Christmas canon (there’s crackling chemistry with German superstar Helene Fischer on “Santa Baby,” and the bombastic take on Slade’s “Merry Xmas Everybody” is a glitzy treat), but it’s the playful originals that provide the star atop the tree.
Deluxe hardcover book packaging includes four bonus tracks and 44 page booklet. 2019 holiday release from the British singer/songwriter. The double album features themed discs: Christmas Past and Christmas Future - both including a brilliant mixture of original songs and special festive covers with some star guest appearances. Includes appearances from Jamie Cullum, Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, and Tyson Fury. Universal. 2019.
