Former Newsboys Singer Peter Furler Releases Christmas Album on Oct. 7

Former Newsboys singer Peter Furler will be releasing his first solo Christmas album on October 7. He has over 7 million album sales to his credit alongside extensive worldwide touring throughout the course of his career. With an international perspective in mind, he collaborates with 2013 Wall Street Journal favorited, Canadian-born David Ian whose unique affinity for the Vintage Christmas sound reaches a new level. Using singers and musicians from around the world including America, Armenia, Lebanon, Russia, and South Africa, the artists bring you an unparalleled cultured Christmas experience ringing sounds of the holiday season from ancient past to present.
Here is what Furler's website has to say about the album: "From the traditional orchestration of ''O Come All Ye Faithful'' to the deconstructed ''O Come O Come Emmanuel'', the arrangements reflect a solemn respect for these timeless Christmas classics. For example, Furler's introspective vocal delivery on ''We Three Kings'' coupled with haunting melodies of the Duduk (Indigenous Armenian wind instrument), reinvigorates the often dismissed Christmas carol. The signature vintage sound of David Ian stays true and develops as he draws from his own cultural background. This album equally suits a meditative evening by the fire, or a dinner party with family and friends."
Here's the tracklisting:
GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN
IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR
