“This dream-come-true album is the culmination of so many wonderful things coming together: my love for the holidays and holiday music, the great musical artists on whose shoulders I stand and who have inspired me, and my dear family who I celebrate and who gave me this love of music from the beginning,” said de Haas. “It is also my offering of love, joy and comfort to all in this season and beyond.”

“Darius has a stunning voice and is also an excellent interpretive artist, both as a performer and arranger,” said Sean Patrick Flahaven, Chief Theatricals Executive of Concord. “This album has a wonderful mix of traditional holiday tunes and beautiful new takes.”

Praised by The New York Times for “his unguarded emotionality and eagerness to dive deep into a song,” this new album is no exception. The album is produced by Darius de Haas, Stewart Lerman, James Frazee and Flahaven and features a variety of notable arrangers and orchestrators – including David Chase (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), Charlie Rosen (Some Like It Hot), Michael O. Mitchell (MJ The Musical) and Tedd Firth. Musicians include Firth and Matthew Whitaker on piano/keyboard, George Farmer on bass, Mark McLean on drums, and Larry Saltzman and Armand Hirsch on guitar. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by James Frazee at Hobo Sound in Weekhawken, New Jersey.
