The album will include other new festive tracks 'Six Days After Christmas (Happy New Year)', 'First Christmas', and 'Heart of Christmas'. 'Christmas With Cliff' will arrive on November 25, which will see Cliff "bringing together an album of classics".
"I have always loved being in recording studios ever since Studio 2, Abbey Road, in 1958", Cliff Richard said. "I recorded this album in Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida – 4,427 miles away from Abbey Road – and once again I felt that I was in a world of my own!".
"I had the help of two producers, Sam Hollander and Chris Walden. They guided me through the 'well known’ Christmas songs and freed me to sing them my way", 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".
"This album is not just mine, it belongs to all of us involved in creating it, and I hope that we add a little something special to your Christmas season".
Cliff Richard's previous festive hits including 'The Millennium Prayer', 'Mistletoe and Wine' and 'Savour's Day' which have become staple Christmas hits over the years.
