Their version of a Christmas classic is part of Pentatonix’s new album, Holidays Around The World
American pop group Pentatonix lights
up the holiday season with the release of their sixth album, Holidays
Around The World—out via RCA Records.
The a cappella ensemble brings their global
vision back to life as they collaborate with some of the biggest pop stars and
idols from different parts of the world, including Chinese pianist Lang
Lang, Congolese gospel singer Grace Lokwa, Lebanese
singer Hiba Tawaji, Latin band La Santa Cecilia, Indian
superstar Shreya Ghoshal, Japanese YouTubers HIKAKIN &
SEIKIN, British a cappella ensemble The King’s Singers,
and American superstar Meghan Trainor.
As for the Philippines, Pentatonix teams up
with multi-awarded Broadway icon Lea Salonga for the Yuletide classic
“Christmas In Our Hearts,” which was originally written and performed by
Diamond-certified Filipino artist Jose Mari Chan. Brimming with effervescent
harmonies and powerhouse vocals, the rendition revisits the Christmas holidays
with a comforting, dream-like spin.
“I had the most wonderful time recording this
classic Filipino Christmas song with Pentatonix,” Salonga posted on Instagram a
few weeks ago. “And yes, this is the Christmas In Our Hearts you think it is.”
The song is currently making rounds on local
mainstream radio and streaming platforms, thanks to its crossover sensibilities
and gift of familiarity.
Following its release, Pentatonix is set to
embark on a multi-city tour in North America and Asia to promote their new
album, Holidays Around The World.
Pentatonix’s Holidays Around The World is now available on all digital music
platforms via RCA Records/Sony Music Entertainment. Listen to “Christmas
In Our Hearts” here.
