Five-time Grammy-nominated and eight-time Dove Award-winning artist Brandon Heath delivers a standout holiday album that blends festive joy with sacred wonder. 'Long Expected Christmas' is a 13-track collection of original Christmas songs and reimagined classics, perfect for radio, streaming playlists, and family listening. The title track reimagines the beloved hymn 'Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus' in a vibrant 1960's Motown style, featuring Francesca Battistelli. Standout originals include the upbeat, horn-driven 'Delivery Man', the powerful anthem 'God Made a Way' (feat. Tasha Layton), 'We Need Emmanuel', and the fun 'Downtown Christmas Tree Farm.'. Additional guests include Rachael Lampa and Rachel Purcell, with a sweet appearance by Heath's young daughter. The album also features fresh takes on 'Joy (to the World)' and 'O Holy Night'. With bold arrangements, warm storytelling, and a balance of swingin' celebration and reflective moments, 'Long Expected Christmas' offers meaningful Christmas music that stands out from typical holiday fare.
