Two-time GRAMMY Award-winning and multi-platinum recording artist LeAnn Rimes returns this season with new album "Greatest Hits Christmas." She has one of the most unique and compelling voices in popular music, whether she is performing one of her countless hits, everyday ballads, or holiday classics. Rimes has won two Grammy Awards and has sold over 48 million albums worldwide, with a multi-genre career spanning three decades. Now, she finds the perfect way to keep her long-standing bond with the holiday season alive with her latest release.
Rimes co-executive-produced the album "Greatest Hits Christmas" with her longtime producer, Darrell Brown, and it includes her favorites from the past 30 years. It doubles as a musical time capsule, eliciting memories and intimacy, the warm spirit, and the magic of the season. Rimes tells the story of her artistic evolution through songs families have cherished for decades, from her 1997 holiday smash "Put a Little Holiday in Your Heart" to a spirited rendition of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree."
The project runs the range of emotions. Rimes turns in a powerful reading of Joni Mitchell's "The River," blending seasonal sorrow with impressive restraint. Then she shifts into a punchy new take on "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," offering the public a 2025 digital mix of the Lennon/Ono classic, previously issued only as a barely circulated hard format.
There are some notable collaborations on the album. There's an almost cinematic feel to Luke Evans's "There's No Such Thing," and Aloe Blacc brings soulful depth to "That Spirit of Christmas." Gavin DeGraw and Rimes join forces for "Celebrate Me Home," transforming the well-loved song into a contemplative duet. "Greatest Hits Christmas" is a tribute to the sentiment and memories of Christmases past. It is your chance to experience Christmas season all over again through the music of one of today's most popular artists.
