A few weeks ago I told you about John Legend working on an upcoming Christmas album, and today he officially announced it this morning–along with a tour and a sneak peek one of the songs!

The recent EGOT winner (that stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony, btw!) took to social media to give us the scoop on his new holiday record, A Legendary Christmas. The video included a behind-the-scenes peek at the album art photoshoot with his family as a snippet of “Bring Me Love”, one of six original tracks on the album plays over the montage.

The rest of the record will also include eight classic Christmas songs, including a duet with Esperanza Spalding on “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”.

Steve Wonder plays harmonica on “What Christmas Means to Me,” a song he originally recorded for his 1967 album, Someday at Christmas.

To accompany the record, Legend will embark on a 25-date national holiday tour beginning November 15th. Check out all of the tour dates below, and make sure you head on over to www.johnlegend.com to get information on purchasing your tickets!

A Legendary Christmas releases on October 26th.

I. Can. Not. Wait. It’s going to be a legendary Christmas, indeed!

Stay merry!
