Description
This Christmas was recorded as a result of the unprecedented success Michel experienced with his version of O Holy Night, released to radio independently in 2004. The song was universally praised and played on radio stations across North America and prompted the president of Universal Music, Canada to ask Michel to contribute a song to the 2005 edition of the extremely popular series of annual compilations of Christmas music by Canadian artists.
Encouraged by this response, Michel set aside work on his album, BRUB (now scheduled for release in 2007 and featuring an unusual but lovely French/English duet with musical icon Chrissie Hynde) to record some of his favorite Christmas tunes.
The tremendous variety of Christmas music available gave Michel the chance to feature his diversity as a singer. From the uplifting and powerful O Holy Night and The First Noel on which Michel is backed up by gospel singers, to the jazz infused What Child Is This, to the slightly swinging Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, to the up tempo title track This Christmas, to the French versions of the Christmas classics he heard as child growing up in rural Quebec, the songs reflect the range and talent of a truly gifted singer.
One song Michel wanted to include on his album was The Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth popularized by Bing Crosbie and David Bowie. Feeling strongly that performing this duet with a female singer would add a different color and dimension to the song, Michel proposed the idea to a singer he admired and whose music was universally loved, Ms. Jennifer Warnes. After hearing Michel sing, Jennifer immediately agreed to collaborate with him and the result is not only the centerpiece of This Christmas, but was also quickly added to radio stations from Canada to the USA to Europe and Australia in November/December 2005.
This Christmas is the perfect Christmas album with a variety of songs beautifully sung and already staples on the playlists of radio stations everywhere.
