The album was done in association with the World Childhood Foundation, a charity, and features collaborations with popular Swedish artists including Björn Skifs (Blue Swede), Lunds Studentsångare, Pauline, Göteborgs symfoniorkester and Pernilla Andersson. "Christmas With Friends" boasts two original tracks, "December" and "Vit som en snö" ("White as Snow"). The album will be sold exclusively through ICA Stores (a large Swedish retailer).
Not entirely new to Christmas music, Måns did a duet with another 2005 "Idol" contestant, Agness Carlsson (who won that year), on a 2007 rendition of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" which, within minutes, became the ad campaign for MQ, a mega-store not unlike Target. But the sound on that one was much more Poppish than the lush sound of this clip for the upcoming album. I might just have to go out of my way to get this one.
