Producer/songwriter/pianist Aubrey Suwito returns with a Christmas album borne out of his personal experience of the holiday season. Featuring the sterling voices of Jaclyn Victor, Vince Chong, Juwita Suwito, Elvira Arul, Patrick Leong, Joy Victor and fresh faces Crinkle Cut; Aubrey’s eclectic music arrangements will take you on a truly special Christmas journey that centres on themes such as family, peace, goodwill and the birth of Christ.3 of the 10 tracks that you hear on this album are original compositions. Title track CHRISTMAS IN THE SUN tells of the unique experience celebrating Christmas in a land void of typical Christmas norms such as snow, reindeer, pinecones & Christmas trees. WONDER (co-written by songwriter/wife Lin Li-Zhen) explores the subject of Christmas hope in a time littered with disaster & war. Meanwhile, NOEL examines if, “Perhaps the remedy of hope belong somewhere within the sweet Noel”.“Producing this album was such a labour of love. It helped us get our focus back on the things that matter amidst all the bad news that abound in the world today. To all of you reading these liner notes while enjoying the music on this album, it is our hope that you will always be reminded that Christmas is so much more than merriment, snow and Santa Claus. It is, and will always be the day we celebrate the magnificent birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.” – AUBREY SUWITO
