Gary Barlow has today released his first-ever Christmas album, The Dream Of Christmas.
Featuring brand new original songs and beautifully orchestrated Christmas classics, The Dream Of Christmas was recorded in-part in Studio Two by Abbey Road's Andrew Dudman, assisted by Christopher Parker; arranged by Dan Keen with Gareth Malone.
Featuring an array of collaborations, The Dream Of Christmas is brimming with festive cheer and Christmas spirit. Gary’s contemporary compositions, in which he sings of warm Christmas memories, sit perfectly alongside timeless classics well-known and loved by many.
Gary Barlow - The Dream Of Christmas
“We were all trying to make Christmas feel good last year,” recalls Gary. “It was a really hard Christmas for so many because of the scenario we all found ourselves in. So to try and make things a bit special, I started writing these songs. I had never listened to those classic Christmas songs with the idea of singing them myself, but as this record evolved, so did my appreciation for these wonderful songs. It all started off as a bit of a dalliance in the studio and before I knew it, I had a whole album!”
The Dream of Christmas is Barlow’s sixth solo album and follows his acclaimed Number 1 album, Music Played By Humans, which rocketed to the top of the album charts upon its release in November last year, becoming his third Number 1 solo album and the fastest-selling album from a British artist in 2020.
