By the Numbers
Kylie Christmas is, by design, an interpreter's album: most of it is festive standards like 'Winter Wonderland' and 'Let It Snow,' which Minogue sings rather than writes. Her authorship surfaces on only a few originals, 'White December' and 'Christmas Isn't Christmas 'Til You Get Here,' both co-written with Karen Poole, Matt Prime, or Steve Anderson. As a covers-heavy holiday record it deliberately sits at the low end of her writing involvement.
Kylie Christmas is the first holiday album and thirteenth studio album by Kylie Minogue, released in November 2015 on Parlophone. Largely a collection of festive standards and classics produced by her longtime musical director Steve Anderson, it pairs traditional songs with a few originals and guest appearances from Frank Sinatra, Iggy Pop, James Corden, and others. Minogue co-wrote a small number of tracks, including 'White December' and 'Christmas Isn't Christmas 'Til You Get Here,' while the bulk of the record is interpretations of well-known holiday material. Warm and orchestral, it became a seasonal favorite in her catalog.
