Sir Cliff Richard has announced the forthcoming release of his first Christmas album in nearly 20 years.
Christmas with Cliff will drop one month before the holiday, on 25 November this year. The album is comprised of 13 tracks, including festive hits such as “Sleigh Ride” and “Jingle Bell Rock”, as well as new songs.
Richard, whose last Christmas album was released in 2003, credited producers Sam Hollander and Chris Walden for “guiding me through the ‘well known’ Christmas songs and freeing me to sing them my way,” in a statement.
He added: “They had differing approaches to the songs that I asked them to produce for me, and they gave this album the dynamics that I had hoped for.”
Ultimately, Richard concluded, the new album is “not just mine... it belongs to all of us involved in creating it”.
“I hope that we add a little something special to your Christmas season,” he said.

Arnau Bataller’s score to Lovecraft inspired horror sequel La Sombra Prohibida begins as it means to continue; with a furious bombardment of strings, timpani and choral warbling. The music is loud and dynamic with lofty ambitions, presumably to convey the scale of the otherworldly monstrosities in the film. Santiago’s Madness builds more subtly than the Opening Credits, but its crescendo is no less dramatic. Despite some softer moments in tracks such as A Personal Feeling and You’ve Been There Before though, the score is a little too samey throughout its runtime. Its eight minute penultimate track Cthulhu proves to be the most interesting...
