When I think of voices that are built for the warmth of the holiday season, Norah Jones is definitely a singer that comes to mind, which is what makes it all that more sweeter than the 9-time GRAMMY-winning singer, songwriter, and pianist is releasing her first holiday album, I Dream Of Christmas.

“I’ve always loved Christmas music but never had the inclination to make a holiday album until now,” Norah said in an official statement. “Last year I found myself listening to James Brown’s Funky Christmas and Elvis’s Christmas Album on Sunday’s during lockdown for a sense of comfort. In January 2021, I started thinking about making a Christmas album of my own. It gave me something fun to work on and look forward to.”

The comforting collection of holiday songs include the opening track, which is also an original song, “Christmas Calling (Jolly Jones)”.
