Dan + Shay released their first full-length Christmas album called "It's Officially Christmas: The Double Album on October 18th, 2024 that features 10 classic songs and 11 original songs from the duo. Stay tuned for a future post about the excitement leading up to this album coming out and more!
While I love every single track on their holiday album that Dan helped co-produce, the one song that stopped me in my tracks when I heard it for the first time was "Silent Night". I always enjoy hearing the duo sing backed up with all of the instruments as well as when they sing acoustically with a combination of the guitar and/or piano.
However, I truly enjoy when they sing a song with no instruments at all, just their voices. I felt chills and goosebumps when I heard Shay sing the lead and Dan sing and harmonize alongside him throughout the beloved Christmas traditional song the first time. Shay's incredible vocal range is featured in this song, but it is not over-done. And Dan's vocals and harmonies are very clear and stunning.
I do not get to hear his voice very often except when I was near the front at their concerts and when I listen extra closely on their songs. I can hear his harmonies and background vocals. Stay tuned for a future post about which songs you can really hear his vocals on and why I hope he takes a solo or two on an upcoming album.
The music video for "Silent Night" features the duo in black shirts with a darkened background performing the song. It is simple and beautiful.
