Engelbert Humperdinck to Release ‘Warmest Christmas Wishes’, His First Christmas Album in Almost Forty Years Pre-order now from https://listnin.co/WarmestChristmasWishes Iconic singer Engelbert Humperdinck will release 'Warmest Christmas Wishes', his first Christmas album in almost forty years, on Friday, November 9th 2018. ‘Warmest Christmas Wishes’ features 14 heartfelt holiday songs – including 2 brand new originals especially written for this album – and will be released in the UK via OK!Good Records. Engelbert Humperdinck has decided to launch the next chapter of his illustrious career by surprising his fans with a brand new Christmas album – his first in almost forty years. Not satisfied with the yearlong celebration of his 50th showbiz anniversary in 2017, Engelbert is eager to begin his next decade in music on a celebratory note. Following the success of his first album in over a decade, the acclaimed ‘The Man I Want to Be’, Engelbert is excited to bring yuletide gladness to families everywhere. Thrilled to bring holiday cheer to his fans once more, Engelbert says "It's been such a long time since I recorded a Christmas album, and fans have been asking me, 'When are you going to do another one?' ... Finally, we decided to do it. I love (Christmas). From me growing up with a large family and everybody singing around the Christmas tree, it was a wonderful, wonderful upbringing. So (Christmas) is very special with me to share." Much like its predecessor, 1980’s ‘A Merry Christmas With Engelbert Humperdinck’, ‘Warmest Christmas Wishes’ is a combination of classic, new and unexpected songs. Traditional holiday songs like ‘Silent Night’ and ‘O Tannenbaum’ sit next to festive standards like ‘Please Come Home for Christmas’ and ‘White Christmas’. Fans can expect to hear the latter reinvented in a Django Reinhardt-inspired swing arrangement. Engelbert delivers Christmas cheer with contemporary tunes such as Chris Rea’s ‘Driving Home for Christmas’ and Gilbert O’Sullivan’s ‘Christmas Song’. Two new original songs – ‘Christmas for the Family’ and ‘Around the Christmas Tree’ are bound to become instant holiday favourites. In all, there are 14 new holiday chestnuts to celebrate Christmas joy, delivered in Engelbert Humperdinck’s inimitable style. The new album, like last year’s ‘The Man I Want to Be’, was produced by Jurgen Korduletsch, arranged by Geoff Stradling and long-time Engelbert collaborators Johnny Harris and the late 7 Broadbent Close, Highgate Village, London, N6 5JW t 020 3213 0135 f 020 8348 7776 e [email protected] www.republicmedia.net @republic_media Jeff Sturges.
