John Legend, the world’s youngest EGOT winner, has announced his first-ever collection of Christmas music. Entitled A Legendary Christmas (get it?), the album is due out October 26th via Columbia Records.
Featuring classics like “Silver Bells”, “Christmas Time is Here”, “Please Come Home for Christmas”, and a cover of Marvin Gaye’s “Purple Snowflakes”, the 14-track effort was executive produced by Raphael Saadiq. Stevie Wonder plays harmonica on opener “What Christmas Means to Me”, while jazz bassist/singer Esperanza Spalding features on “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”.
