These Christmas Lights is the brand new Christmas album from 2X GRAMMY® winner Matt Redman. This release is Matt's first Christmas project and it features 11 new seasonal anthems, including collaborations with Natasha Bedingfield, Chris Tomlin, and Tasha Cobbs. As he was writing for the album, Matt went on a retreat to Israel in order place himself into the story. "We reenacted, walking through the old roads that Jesus would have walked, going to some of the key places where key events of the gospel happened when Jesus walked this Earth. Thinking a lot about Him coming as a little newborn baby," he shares. “We worked very hard on this record. I’m so grateful and aware of the collaboration, the team effort. Lots of people just digging deep, bringing their creativity, time and gifting their experience on this record. There’s definitely a sense of family, collaboration and friendship.” We invite you to check out these new songs as you're starting to prepare for your Christmas services, including the album's title track, "These Christmas Lights," which revisits the night of Jesus' birth and "His Name Shall Be," which proclaims the peace and hope He brought to the world. Matt also reinterprets a number of popular carols, giving them an original sound and transforming them into something new, including "O Little Town (The Glory of Christmas)" and "Hearts Waiting (Joy to the World)." These Christmas Lights truly brings the Christmas story alive with great joy and reverence and is now available on iTunes.
