Recently Smith took to social media and posted pictures of himself in the studio recording his upcoming Christmas album during the summer. The album follows an extensive catalog of Christmas albums from Smith.
The legendary singer was excited to share the news with his fans.
"Making Christmas music in June......love my tree!" Smith posted this along with a picture on his Facebook profile. Not a lot of information on the upcoming album has been disclosed, but Smith did reveal some of the names of the collaborations that will be featured on the album.
Smith released his first Holiday album in 1989 entitled Christmas. He followed that with a 1998 release called Christmastime. His It's a Wonderful Christmas album was recorded at London's famous Abbey Road Studios with a 65-piece orchestra and 4 choirs in 2007. Smith also has a number of collaborative Christmas albums.
The worshiper released one mega album entitled The Ultimate Christmas Collection, a 33-song collection. It included three perennial Christmas album favorites from Smith's Christmas, Christmastime and A Wonderful Christmas.
Grant is putting out her first remix album, In Motion: The Remixes, and it will be out on August 19.
The first single, "Baby, Baby," will be out on July 22 once the album is pre-ordered, and the album will focus on the over three decade career of the singer's best hits.
"Remixing 'Baby, Baby' has definitely been one of the highlights of my career," DJ Audé said in a press release. "I loved this song when it was released in 1991, and I still love hearing it today; you can't say that about many records 23 years later. 'Baby, Baby' has crossed genres, and I'm hoping my remix will add yet another genre to this timeless classic."
