\"I really think some of the last of the magic left in this world is in Christmas music,” the singer said in a statement. \"There’s a lot of joy in this record -- even more than the first in some ways -- and I wanted to tip a hat to where I started...but also take it to the soulful side of my music.”

Most of all, the singer said he hopes the new record will offer listeners some festive fun after what has been, for many, a difficult couple of years.

\"The world is the world, and life comes at you like it does, but I hope you find some joy in this music,” he said. \"I hope it softens life a little bit and puts a smile on someone’s face when they need it. If it does, I’ve done my job.”
