I now understand why there are countless Christmas songs but surprisingly few unique albums truly dedicated to the season itself that could be listened to year round. It has been my privilege to sit alongside Terence through every other holiday this past year, listening to virtually nothing but Christmas music. I’ve witnessed the sheer fortified vision required to tackle a project like this, maintaining that creative focus through spring, summer, and fall—every season except the one it celebrates. Now that Christmas is finally approaching, I can say without doubt that this collective effort from the mind of Terence Toy was worth every moment.
From deep house revivals of classic gospel hymns to hip-hop/house/drum & bass transformations of “We Three Kings”. Terence and his compositions have crafted an album that brings seasonal joy to secular, non-secular, and spiritual house music lovers alike. The record weaves together spoken word and rap with beautiful melodies and outstanding vocals, all enhanced by live instrumentation to create a joy that radiates through every track.
This unique house take on the Christmas season features original compositions, and truly inspired adaptations that will leave you clinging to memories at the edges of your mind and as you lean into each song, it slowly invokes the remembrance of Christmas music, making you feel like you’re rediscovering a long-lost classic you can’t quite place—but somehow know by heart. This is worth your time. This is house music. This is Christmas.
