Soooooooooo excited for this album! And the EP!!!!
Here are the car-aoke snippets David shared… so far I am LOVING all the original songs… the title track, He Is Born and Christmas Every Day all sound amazing from what we’ve heard so far!
Tears immediately welled up and I was clutching my chest when David started singing the title track snippet. I AM NOT READYYYY!!!!
Forget that, I am SO ready! lol
Countdown begins!
I want to know what everyone thinks of the songs as soon as you’ve heard them!
LET’S ALL HOLD HANDS AND SING KUMBAYA WHILE WE WAIT!!!!
p.s.
You might say that David and Kari take the cake! *hides*
(check out @livingbeautahfully and @catcherintheryephotography’s insta stories for vid clips, as well, thx. for the heads up, Janey! I believe these were taken behind the scenes for Studio 5, to air tomorrow)
πΌ KUMBAYA !!!
Iβm so stinking excited for this album …. I canβt even!!!!!
I think WITA will def slay is all…….
Eeeeeeeeeeeee(((((((hug))))
Ha, I was just replaying the snippets as I have been doing over and over. This will be a fabulous Christmas album! Loving everything I’ve heard, some of my favourite songs are on this album. Hearing that little bit of the title track…….well, tt sounds just gorgeous. Can’t wait to have the entire album to listen to! Coming very soon. π
Oh and yes….the EP!
…
i think he pretty much sings his heart out on this project. the vocals and arrangements are truly unbelievable.
HIS ORIGINALS!!!!
ππΌπππ―π―π―π―π―π―
That is all__________________
I had high expectations for this album, and of course is was even better than I expected!!! The title track, βWinter in the Airβ is a gorgeous love song that should be in a Hallmark Christmas movie! βHe is Bornβ is a joyous worship song that shares the true meaning of Christmas. βChristmas Every Dayβ makes me happy and puts me in the Christmas spirit. Davidβs take on all the Christmas standards on his album are unique and fabulous. And what can I say about Davidβs Spanish Christmas EP except it was BREATHTAKING!
Is the Spanish EP out?
Yes, it dropped at the same time!
I am blown away by his original songs the most… did not see that coming… have loved Christmas Every Day since it came out but now the title track, Winter in the Air is my new fave… burst into tears even at his car snippet, there’s something really special about it for me… it’s not like any song I’ve heard before and yet it sounds like a classic… I just feel transported when I listen to it, and there’s a sweet melancholy in his voice, so gentle and soft, gahhhhh… IT SLAYS MEEEEE!!!!!
Sidenote: I laughed out loud (perhaps snorted) when he sang the “Kiss her once for me” line in Holly Jolly, BWAH! π π π
Has anyone listened to the Spanish ones? Disappointed he didn’t include the Spanish version of “Glorious” (confession: I actually like that one better).
Well, I was immersed in the new music late in to the night. Got my Itunes downloads and wow, even more beautiful than I expected. I think you could write an entire essay on this wonderful album (and the absolutely gorgeous EP).! Love the arrangements too.
Love the songs he sings and that voice is so perfect for all of them. His new songs are so good!
For now will just say that the title track is stunning! Moved me to tears too for some reason as did some of the other songs like some of my faves…In the Bleak Midwinter, Some Children See Him… but then David has a way of doing that with his voice alone. He turns a song in to a unique masterpiece. What a beautiful album! Will be listening from now until Christmas (and afterwards).
Haha, Holly Jolly Christmas, lots of fun……yes, cute that he sang that one,
.p.s…..Can we just salute that rendition of White Christmas again? So good!
Those pictures are great….and those cakes, wow!
Must mention Come Oh Come Emmanuel, so, so beautiful and the Spanish version, exquisite!
Could obviously do a narrative on each song, such a great album and EP, Bravo David!
so true, Pepp! Hard to narrow down your faves!
Here’s David’s interview and acoustic CED from Studio 5 this morning:

Wow, wow, wow, WOW! Flail. Jaw dropped. It’s even better than I hoped.
David never disappoints. Just when you think he can’t get any better, bam! You’re flattened by “Winter in the Air.” His originals are so good, tears in the eyes for the whole trio.
I did have one disappointment. I didn’t care for that version of Glorious. Is it the original one from the movie? David has done Glorious live so many glorious times this one just isn’t my fave.
I’m having a holly jolly Christmas right now!
I’m with you MissB regarding Glorious. It has gone around the block many times, and it just really doesn’t seem like a Christmas song to me. But hey! It’s there for those that love it!

Please let this be for a Winter in the Air title track videoooooo!
In love with He Is Born!! Canβt get by it without hitting repeat a few times β€οΈβ€οΈ And Dreaming Of A White Christmas…who is this guy??? Fabulous!!! Loving the whole album…definitely my go to Christmas music this year ππ
Dahveeeeeeed!
finding hard to spazz when i’m pretty much speechless. i think the spazzing will come in small doses as i appreciate each song as i get to know them individually. there are so many nuances woven into each one. i’m so happy he is taking his time on each project.
From the Chilean fans who David posted about in his insta stories… his reaction to their gifts is priceless… I canβt stop replaying lolol. (Scroll thru for that clip)
