For the release of Light Of Christmas, tobyMac lends his signature beats & rhymes to a collection of fresh Christmas tracks while enlisting the help of a few friends along the way.
“Bring On The Holidays” kicks off the album and ushers in the Christmas season with a cheerful melody that is sure to put a smile on your face.
“Light Of Christmas”, featuring Owl City, celebrates ways we can reflect the light & love of Jesus throughout the holidays and the joy that comes from giving to others.
“Christmas This Year”, featuring Leigh Nash, captures the spirit of the season as it highlights the warmth and kindness that seems to fill the air as we rejoice and remember our Savior’s birth.
Rhythmic renditions of “Little Drummer Boy”, “The First Noel” and “O Come All Ye Faithful” put a unique spin on the familiar favorites.
“This Christmas (Father Of The Fatherless)”, featuring Nirva Ready, tells of the gift of adoption, not only of the children in need of families on Earth, but also of being adopted by our Heavenly Father when we place our faith & trust in Him.
From start to finish, Light Of Christmas, is filled with the pure message of Christmas and the childlike wonder that takes hold of our hearts throughout the season. The songs stand out from the typical holiday selections to shake up your Christmas playlist.
