Christmas has come early! Grammy Award Winning singer-songwriter LeAnn Rimes will release her new Christmas album, 'Today is Christmas!'

The album was recorded in Los Angeles at Capitol Recording Studios and Sunset Sound Studios; and was co-produced by Rimes, Darrell Brown and Niko Bolas. Rimes also co-wrote two original songs for the album, the title track, "Today is Christmas," as well as "I Still Believe in Santa Claus."

'Today is Christmas' is comprised of traditional and original songs with featured duets including the holiday favourite "Celebrate Me Home" with Gavin DeGraw. To make the album even more merry and bright, Rimes also teamed up with hit recording artist Aloe Blacc for a soulful duet of the song, "That Spirit of Christmas."

"I try to remain in the Christmas spirit all year long," says Rimes, "so I am hoping my fans will be right there with me - singing all the way into the New Year." She continues, "I was able to collaborate with some incredibly talented vocalists and musicians to make this amazing record, and I can't wait for you to hear it."
