CURRENT SINGLE: “Half of Me” featuring Riley Green
Thomas Rhett just released a new Christmas EP titled Merry Christmas Y’all. The four-song collection features his versions of “Winter Wonderland,” “Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” and for Thomas, it was a fun way to do something a little different musically.

“We put a couple Christmas songs out a couple years ago, and it was so fun to do. It was so fun to tap into just a different lane besides what we normally do. And in this go around, specifically for these four songs, I wanted to kinda go with the big band approach. I love listening to old Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra Christmas songs. All in their own right were kinda challenging, and it kinda changed my brain to think differently, and gave me a way deeper appreciation for all the classic singers that used to sing like, in the room with the strings and the brass. And a really, really fun project to make, and somethin’ that I would love to do again.“
Releasing his Christmas EP in October, before we even got to Halloween, might seem a little early to some people, but Thomas wanted to make sure his music was available and ready to go for anyone who starts celebrating Christmas when his family does.

“The moment that Thanksgiving is done, well actually in my house, the moment Halloween is done we are listening to Christmas music only. But it was a lot of fun to kinda dive into this project as a whole, and to be able to release it before this Christmas season. It was a blast to make and I hope everybody enjoys it.”
