Multiple Grammy Award-winning global reggae/dancehall & pop music icon Shaggy, returns with a new album ‘Christmas in the Islands’ (Deluxe) – a quintessential reggae Christmas themed collection that is sure to be a perennially staple for the holidays.
‘Christmas in the Islands’ (Deluxe) is a Caribbean twist on traditional Christmas cheers with 4 new tracks including features from Sting, Hannah Brier and Bunji Garlin. The 19-song album of island-infused holiday songs, featuring guest performances from Ne-Yo, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Junior Reid, Romain Virgo, Ritchie Stephens, Conkarah, Joss Stone and many more. The album includes all new music and a modern reggae cover of the classic standard Silent Night ft Sting, in which the two close friends harmonize with each other for the first time since receiving a `Best Reggae Album’ Grammy for their joint album ‘44/876.’
Says Shaggy: “Since I was a child, I can remember seeing tourists flock to Jamaica during Christmastime for some sun, fun, rum, and great parties! Our island is all about family, friends, food, great beaches, warm, welcoming people, and a strong culture, which is the perfect recipe for a joyous Christmas, so we decided to embody all of that into one album.”
