Tommee Profitt is getting us ready for Santa in a few hours with a stunning holiday album featuring our favorite Christmas classics!
The esteemed producer, composer, songwriter and recording artist’s cinematic, high-concept album, The Birth of a King, was self-produced and is finally out after 15-years in the making.
“It turned out to be the hardest and most exciting thing I’ve ever worked on, and quarantine finally gave me the time to make it happen,” Profitt said of the new record. “I wanted to make a Christmas album that sounds like an epic movie soundtrack, with 808s, a gospel choir, and all these incredible singers.”
Known for working with artists like NF, Migos, Josh Groban, Hunter Hayes and even Avril Lavigne, Profitt’s record finds himself working with Lavigne once again for their take on “What Child Is This?” and it’s the perfect song to play while around the Christmas tree with the ones who matter most in your life, whether it be in person or over Zoom.
After having worked with Tommee on a few other projects, he reached out to me about making a Christmas album,” said Avril Lavigne. “I was so excited to participate because Christmas music is my favorite and Tommee’s epic, cinematic, orchestral approach to production absolutely does this classic music genre justice. ‘What Child is This’ has been a particular favorite of mine since childhood and our version of it turned out so well!”
Just last week, the duo posted a video on Instagram, giving fans an interesting inside look on how Tommee worked with Avril for the track. You can view it below:
