A Legendary Christmas. It is set for release on October 26, 2018.[4][2] Featuring artists such as Esperanza Spalding and Stevie Wonder, the album is also accompanied by a Legend's tour of the same name from November to December 2018.[5][6]
Background
The album is Legend's first holiday album, which he announced on October 1, 2018, via social media.[7][8] He shared a teaser video of him introducing the album and showing footage of his studio along with a photo shoot for the album.[9][10] His tweet wrote "This winter, get ready for A Legendary Christmas! I have a brand new Christmas album coming out accompanied by #ALegendaryChristmas Tour!".[11][1] Wonder features on the first song of the album "What Christmas Means to Me", in which he plays the harmonica, while Spalding sings on the third song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".[1] Featuring fourteen songs, the album is composed of eight that are "Christmas classics" and six that are original tracks by Legend.[1] The album is executive-produced by neo-soul singer/producer Raphael Saadiq.[1][12] Prior to the album's announcement, Legend had just become the first African-American male to win EGOT - an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.[13] Legend has previously said of his intention to create a Christmas album, he said "I just made a new Christmas album. I've wanted to do this for a long time."[14][15][16]
