RCA RecordsPentatonix is back with another collection of holiday songs — and this time, they’ve brought along Kelly Clarkson and Maren Morris for the sleigh ride.
On the new album, called Christmas Is Here!, Kelly, who tapped the a cappella group to open for her a few years ago, joins them for a version of the modern holiday classic “Grown-Up Christmas List.”
As for Maren, “The Middle” singer and Pentatonix cover 1998’s “When You Believe,” originally written for the animated film The Prince of Egypt, and recorded by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
“Being a part of this song with these freakishly talented people gave me all my throwback choir/musical vibes I needed,” Maren tweeted. “Get in the holiday spirit and listen to Pentatonix’ amazing album now!”
In addition to those two songs, Christmas Is Here! also features classics like “Jingle Bells” and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” as well as some lesser-known songs, such as “Making Christmas” from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas and a song called “Sweater Weather,” by the alternative rock band The Neighbourhood.
The group’s three previous holiday albums have all hit #1 on Billboard’s Holiday Albums chart. Pentatonix will kick off their Christmas tour November 25th in Grand Prairie, TX. It wraps up with four shows at New York City’s Beacon Theatre, from December 18-22.
