Anyone who is familiar with the gorgeous vocals of Joss Stone knows she’s not only the real deal, but also an ideal singer to release a holiday album—and that’s exactly what she has done this year. The Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter has just released her very first album for the holiday season, “Merry Christmas, Love” which was released digitally yesterday.

This album was an important release for Joss as she has a lifelong love of the holiday season, and she wanted a record that encourages families all over the world to join in song together, “It was ambitious to do this, but it was such a joy to make my dream project come true,“ she said in an official statement. The singer will be expanding her own family next month with the birth of her son, “It felt like he was part of the album, and that made it even sweeter,“ she said. “I feel like two wonderful babies came from this experience.”

The lead single from the album is a rendition of the classic, “What Christmas Means To Me,” but Joss has also dropped the lyric video of the holiday staple, “Winter Wonderland”. You can check them both out below along with the tracklisting of the 16-song album.

HELLO, FALL! Today marks the official start of the autumn season, and we couldn’t be more relieved to feel a shift in the weather… it’s been a very hot summer where we live, and we could use the chillier days that are on the way.  What are some of your favorite things about fall?  We love visiting the farm to pick up fresh apple cider (and apple cider donuts!) along with a lot of pumpkins. 🍂🍁

Surprisingly, our fall decorations are all up this year, which is something we haven’t really had together in a few years — hopefully that’s a good sign for how organized our holiday season will be.

Speaking of, the Christmas movie news is going to be flooding in over the next few days, so make sure you’re following along with us to find out what holiday cheer you can soon expect on your TVs!

Stay Merry,
