Award-winning vocal quintet Pentatonix has dropped their new holiday album, Christmas in the City, out now via Republic Records, marking their eighth holiday release. Listen to it below.
The 16-track album is a mix of new originals and holiday favorites, all of which aim to celebrate the magic of Christmastime in New York. Among many highlights, the quintet performs alongside Frank Sinatra on “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm.” For the first time ever, the group has collaborated with Sinatra on a never-before-heard recording of this staple. Then there’s “Snowing in Paris,” where they collaborate with vocal dynamo JoJo, new renditions of “Silver Bells” and “Holly Jolly Christmas,” and a “Christmas Classics Medley." The album also includes the previously released single "Bah Humbug," which is a retelling of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Check out the full tracklisting below.
About the record, Scott Hoying told BroadwayWorld, "I love this album so much because it has that theatrical energy. We've done so much Christmas music in Pentatonix, but one thing we haven't touched is that big band orchestral sound that Dean Martin did back in the day. We wanted to really capture and commit to it and lean in. It's still really vocal-heavy, but it's vocal-heavy in a Manhattan Transfer way, where there's instruments throughout. It just has no rules. We have stuff that sounds like it's from a Fosse musical, and then we have a ton of original music. It's all really fun and bold and theatrical and camp. I think it's one of the best things, if not the best thing, we've ever done."
Following last year’s #1 holiday film on Netflix, “Meet Me Next Christmas,” and a blockbuster arena run including their first sold-out Madison Square Garden, Pentatonix is hitting the road this November for their Christmas in the City Tour. It will kick off on November 8th in West Valley City, Utah at Maverik Center, rolling through major arenas such as UBS Arena in New York, and concludes with two hometown shows on December 21st and December 22nd in Fort Worth, TX at Dickies Arena.
