The ultimate Holiday collection only from MCA

MANILA, Philippines – The best music this Christmas season is from MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines).

Check out these holiday releases that are guaranteed ‘must-haves’ this yuletide season:

MERRY CHRISTMAS, BABY — an album of standards and traditional songs produced by David Foster, finds Rod Stewart joined by a number of A-list guests, starting with Michael Bublé, who duets with Rod on “Winter Wonderland.” “We Three Kings” is a duet with Mary J. Blige; and the title tune “Merry Christmas, Baby” is a duet with Cee-Lo Green featuring New Orleans’ favorite son, Trombone Shorty. “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” features Dave Koz on saxophone and “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?” is a very special ‘virtual’ duet with Ella Fitzgerald featuring Chris Botti.

 

35 years after the success of “GREASE”, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John have reunited and combined their iconic voices for THIS CHRISTMAS, a newly recorded album featuring Christmas favorites with guest artists such as Barbara Streisand, Tony Bennett, and James Taylor! All of the songs are Christmas standards except for “I Think You Might Like It,” which is a newly penned song by John Farrar (Olivia Newton John’s long standing writer). Travolta and Newton-John have committed to donate the artist proceeds from the album equally to their respective charities, the Jett Travolta Foundation and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

 

Christina Aguilera, Michael Buble, Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews and Train are among the acts helping Special Olympics celebrate the 25th anniversary of its A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS album series. Since 1987, the A Very Special Christmas (AVSC) album series has literally changed lives by generating over $100 million in direct support for Special Olympics programs, thanks to the generosity of more than 130 top internationally acclaimed recording artists. Other artists involved in the project include Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Rascal Flatts, The Band Perry, Cheap Trick, Natalie Grant, Sidewalk Prophets and Jamie Grace.
