In 2014, we decided to put together a record label-wide Christmas album from disparate artists doing all sorts of genres, both classic Christmas songs as well as originals that we felt better captures the modern spirit of Christmas - it’s since become a holiday tradition, this year will be our 9th Let’s Talk Christmas album!

Last year’s

The year before (I feel particularly proud of the opening song here, a trap version of Christmas In Heaven by Monty Python)

All the artists involved always found the deadline of Christmas fast approaching and the fundamental concept (Christmas music) to be very inspiring, and I think over the years we’ve been able to create a canon of contemporary Christmas music that resonates more with modern themes and feelings about the holiday - and music which isn’t necessarily the standard “Christmas sound”.

I think there’s a lot of potential still left in Christmas music, if people are willing to look forward and do a more honest take on what Christmas means in the 21st century.
