Kim and Kelly

Wow!

I was pretty sure that, as with most years, this page would be pretty quiet until the summer, when most artists and labels would be making announcements about their forthcoming Christmas music.

But today, I came across two nuggets that I just had to pass along, even though it's only April.

First, I was directed to this post on Facebook.

Picture
Yes, that Kim Wilde.  Kids In America.  You Keep Me Hanging On.  Kim had much more success in the UK than in the U.S., with gold, silver and platinum albums.  and a long series of successful singles (including more than a dozen that hit the Top 20).

And as far as I know, this was her only foray into Christmas music, a duet with UK comedian/actor Mel Smith in 1987.

That Facebook post is all the info I've been able to find about Kim's forthcoming Christmas album.  Looking forward to getting more details!

I've got a little more info about the other new Christmas album in the works.  This one is from Kelly Clarkson!

Picture
In a recent interview, she talked about the Christmas album, saying, "It's probably my favorite album I've ever made. It's so good."

Kelly recorded a duet with Blake Shelton last year, for Blake's Christmas album.  She also did a version of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" for iTunes Sessions in 2011, which turned up on her Greatest Hits package last year.  And she had a pair of songs on American Idol's Christmas album in 2003 ("O Holy Night" and "My Grown Up Christmas List".

You can read a little more about Kelly's Christmas album HERE!

There are rumors that we'll also be seeing Christmas albums this year from Pat Benatar, Shania Twain and Patty Smyth and Scandal!  Looks like we're going to in for another great season!

Thanks for stopping by!  And may you always believe in Santa Claus!
