The Advent of Christmas is approaching. Holiday spirit will soon fill the air. Matt Maher's Christmas album The Advent of Christmas is set to release on October 19th with songs Matt has been working on over the last few years - fine tuning and infusing with the Christmas spirit. Prepare your heart and soul to receive God's greatest gift as you listen to Maher's collection of new songs and classic carols! A Contemporary Christian artist, originally from Canada. Matt Maher shares a niche with Michael W. Smith. Maher released his first album in 2001, but "The Advent of Christmas" is his first Christmas album. He has, through the years, released several Christmas songs, including a pair of charting singles--2011's "Hark The Herald Angels Sing" and "Glory (Let There Be Peace)" in 2015. Additionally, Matt's had the occasional Christmas song on CCM collections and/or posted as YouTube videos. As implied in the "product info", Matt's given these past holiday tracks the once over...polishing them to perfection...while also coming up with some all new offerings for "The Advent of Christmas". Amy Grant joins Matt on "Always Carry You", likely to be the lead single from the album, which arrives on October 19.

Debuting the first Christmas album of his career, 2X GRAMMY® winner Matt Redman will unveil These Christmas Lights on October 21. Filled with powerful and diverse collaborations, featured artists on the album include longtime friends Natasha Bedingfield, Chris Tomlin and Tasha Cobbs. These Christmas Lights finds Redman sharing his interpretation on quintessential holiday songs, along with creating new, originals including “His Name Shall Be,” “Help from Heaven,” the title track and more.
“I don’t want to just tell a story, I want to make sure that we put ourselves in the story too. To help with the songwriting on this record, I actually went on a retreat to Israel. We reenacted, walking through the old roads that Jesus would have walked, going to some of the key places where key events of the gospel happened when Jesus walked this Earth. Thinking a lot about Him coming as a little newborn baby,” shares Redman. “We worked very hard on this record. I’m so grateful and aware of the collaboration, the team effort. Lots of people just digging deep, bringing their creativity, time and gifting their experience on this record. There’s definitely a sense of family, collaboration and friendship.“ These Christmas Lights will serve as the follow up to Redman’s 2015 chart-topper Unbroken Praise. Redman will be touring throughout the U.S. and British Columbia for the remainder of 2016. |

That's what we try to do for you here. We'll also try to give you a little background on the artist(s), in case they're new to you. Archives2015 PREviews Categories
