Gary’s contemporary compositions, in which he sings of warm Christmas memories, sit perfectly alongside timeless classics well-known and loved by many. The gorgeously festive ‘How Christmas is Supposed to Be’ is a sparkly, punchy, pop duet with Olivier and BAFTA-winning singer, actor, Sheridan Smith. Gary also collaborated with Welsh baritone, Aled Jones on ‘A Child’s Christmas in Wales’, a beautifully heart-warming melody that blends their vocals together and even sees Aled sing in his native Welsh. Gary enlists the prodigious talent of cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason on the spellbinding ‘The Colder It Feels’ and collaborates with vocal harmony trio, The Puppini Sisters to lend a modern, jazz feel to the festive classic, ‘Winter Wonderland’. “We were all trying to make Christmas feel good last year,” recalls Gary. “It was a really hard Christmas for so many because of the scenario we all found ourselves in. So to try and make things a bit special, I started writing these songs. I had never listened to those classic Christmas songs with the idea of singing them myself, but as this record evolved, so did my appreciation for these wonderful songs. It all started off as a bit of a dalliance in the studio and before I knew it, I had a whole album!” ‘The Dream of Christmas’ is Gary’s sixth solo album and follows his acclaimed Number 1 album, ‘Music Played By Humans’, which rocketed to the top of the album charts upon its release in November last year, becoming his third Number 1 solo album and the fastest-selling album from a British artist in 2020. Gary is set to hit the road this November, performing all the hits from his incredible three-decade long career as well as songs from both his new album ‘The Dream of Christmas’ and his Number 1 album ‘Music Played By Humans’. The All The Hits Live Tour kicks off in Belfast on 27th November and will play 16 shows in 14 cities around the UK and Ireland. Tickets are on sale now. Gary Barlow’s ‘The Dream Of Christmas’ is out on 26th November 2021.
