BNXN, Elevation Worship, and Coco Jones feature on Apple Music Christmas Playlist.
Apple Music has revealed the lineup for the 2023 Christmas playlist of carol covers. “Carols Covered” is making a return with a fresh roster of exclusive holiday songs reimagined by some of today’s most influential contemporary artists. Additionally, there’s a new “Classical Carols Covered” playlist that showcases beautiful renditions of carols and festive songs by top classical musicians.
Carols are the heart and soul of Christmas and other holidays. They’re sung at festive services and joyfully belted out at home with friends and family. While carols are a cherished part of our longstanding traditions, they also continue to evolve, with new arrangements composed each year, breathing new life into timeless classics.
This year’s lineup includes fresh interpretations from a diverse range of artists, such as Ángela Aguilar, Armani White, Bnxn, Coco Jones, David Shaw, Dikka, Elevation Worship, Ella Henderson, Gallant & Jensen McRae, G Flip, Hakushi Hasegawa, Hemlocke Springs, Jeongyeon of TWICE, Lauren Spencer Smith, and Restless Road.
In addition to the contemporary artists, this year’s collection features heartwarming renditions by classical musicians like Maria Duenas, Olivia Belli, Randall Goosby & Carlos Simon, The Sixteen, and Xuefei Yang. They beautifully perform both well-known Christmas classics and a few lesser-known gems, infusing their remarkable musicianship into these beloved carols.
