TobyMac releases new Christmas single

Five-time Grammy Award winner and multi-platinum selling artist TobyMac is embracing the holiday season with his first Christmas song in 8 years in the brand new track “Christmas This Year”.

“Christmas This Year” features one of TobyMac’s favourite vocalists, Sixpence None The Richer’s Leigh Nash.

Talking about the season and what it was like making the song, TobyMac said: "Christmas is the most celebrated time of the year for my family.

"While we were recording the song , we had a week-long Christmas party at my house...in JULY!!!

"I wanted to write a song that captured that pure delight without missing the spirit of the season... when love came down to let us live.”

Christmas This Year is available now and exclusively at iTunes.
