And then we just had this 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.960 one song, Little Drummer Boy, that really went viral and 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.920 that's what kind of started us on this kind of 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:13.919 Christmas train, and. 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:14.640 Then married did you know? 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.800 And Hallelujah, and then it just kind of skyrocketed from 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.840 there and literally because of every single one of you guys. 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.480 Thank you literally and thank you seriously. 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.079 We just heard one of your new original songs tell 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.320 us about the origins of Santa be Good to my Baby. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:29.959 I love it. 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.560 Thank you. I think it was a writing session that 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:37.119 was Oh was that though our friends Geon and Mark 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:42.480 love we oh and Sean. We sat down, it was 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.120 just at my house in my home studio, and he 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.320 had like the idea for that hooks man, it would 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:51.000 be good to my day, and we were like yes. 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.639 And then we were wanting to like implement Andrew's sisters energy, 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.320 you know, like boogie boogie bogle boy that vibe into 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.080 the music on this album, and so we were like, 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:02.600 this would be a perfect one. Let's do a list 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.480 song where all the things we want for Christmas? 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.800 Is that how some of them come along. Some of 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.840 your songs, you're just kind of hanging out and you 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.919 have a hook in your head because normal people don't 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:12.400 think like that. 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:14.000 You know. 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:15.640 It's so funny that you say that, because I feel 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.880 like that's the best arrangement. The best original song is 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.400 when it comes from that instinctual place when you're actually 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.480 just like having fun, you know, when you're a kid 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.280 and you're dancing and making up songs and drawing stuff. 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.160 I feel like it's a similar thing that you do 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.240 as an adult. It's like staying out of your head 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:29.799 at the hard part. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.600 That's amazing. Well, the album is called Christmas in the City. 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.280 Did one particular city inspire the name? 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.240 Yes, it was a New York City, New York City. 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.560 I love Magical, we love all cities. 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:45.440 Cities areat but. 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.440 I was walking through New York City and I I 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.440 saw like an ornament that had a little taxi on 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:50.520 it said Christmas in the City. 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:57.720 I was like, cute, Okay, Christmas in the City stands 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.240 out as the first time the group has added all right, 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.680 first time. It's a new chapter for your group. What 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:05.080 led you to that decision? 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:10.160 You know, I like love that old classic Christmas sound, 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.640 the nat King Cole being Crosby with the orchestra, and 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.600 there's still a lot of vocals and a lot of harmony, 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.920 and it just has this cozy feeling and I feel 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.400 like we had never really done that before. It was 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.480 our eighth Christmas album, so it's time to take And 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.600 what what I'm really proud about this album is it's 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.479 creative and it holds true to like our sound and 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.920 what we do, but it brings that kind of ten 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.479 Pan Alley old school vibe into it. It was it 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:34.320 was really inspiring. 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.440 Yeah, it's going back to roots in a different way 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.280 because like the Andrew Sisters were a trio and we're 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.480 always taking inspiration from them and just a lot of 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.520 little trios and quartets and the way that they were 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.760 singing back in the day. We've had such inspiration from, 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.919 So even though we're adding a lot of instruments, in 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.480 a way, it's returning to kind of like making an 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.880 homage to the people that came before us and inspired 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.240 what we are now doing too. So it feels special 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.599 and yeah, it was fun to just play and go 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.800 back to that old school Christmas feeling. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.920 Yeah. Well, we mentioned earlier once in a Lifetime collaboration 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.120 and tell us how Pentatonics got to team up with 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.600 the chairman of the board Frank Sinatra on I've Got 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.839 My Love to Keep Me Warm? How did that come about? 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.200 It is so iconic. I mean, we are obviously very 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.920 inspired by him. He's one of the best performers in history. 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.120 And are an executive producer and orchestrat that worked on 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.200 our album, Dave Pearce, who is amazing. We wrote a 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:31.479 lot of songs with him. He knows the Sinatra estate 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:36.320 and we met someone with the estate and the Sinatra's 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.520 had to give their blessing and we are beyond honors 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.479 have got and they blessed us with the sweet voice 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.960 and we and we got to release like an unheard 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.360 vocal and it's wild. If you listen to you can 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.839 hear the papers ruffling and like the bleed of the 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.040 orchestra from the other rooms. Really really really powerful and 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:55.200 logical yet very special. 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.440 I also feel like like we he was so good 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.680 about vocal directing as what that's song too, and with 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.200 that arrangement, like I feel like we went back in 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.080 time and we're those singers like with him in that 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.159 booth that we were inspired by, that we're taking that 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.800 inspiration from. And I'm just so proud of that song. 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.960 Like how we all sound in the arrangement. It's so 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.560 fun to sing and just to do it, Like just 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.760 have our names next to Franks and Entreprenos is like 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:20.960 that's such an honor. 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:25.880 Yeah, congrats.
