The second yuletide album from this talented trio, titled 'A Philly Extravagant Christmas Spectacle,' is set to grace our auditory senses on the first day of December. This symphonic masterpiece boasts the vocal contributions of not only Patti LaBelle but also the esteemed Travis Kelce, Jason's sibling.
The Philadelphia Eagles' melodic triumvirate appears poised to rival the reigning queen of Christmas anthems.
Within this album, a worthy sequel to their inaugural 'A Philly Special Christmas' released last year, lies a unique interpretation of Mariah Carey's cherished Christmas anthem, 'All I Desire for Christmas.' Audiences can now savor the full rendition of this song.
In a recent episode of the 'New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce' podcast, Jordan Mailata, 26, the celebrated guest, granted insights into their creative process. He noted, "This year, we were more involved in the songcraft's genesis compared to the previous year. This experience shall remain etched in my memory for all time."
Jason concurred, "I share your sentiments, and I believe the album's essence isn't solely embodied by us, Lane, and myself; it encompasses a myriad of musical talents."
Witnessing the transformation from musical inception to completion has been an exhilarating journey, as Jason aptly observed.
Travis Kelce contributed his voice to a duet alongside Jason in this musical venture. Despite this, the star of the Kansas City Chiefs confessed he hadn't yet mustered the courage to listen to the final iteration of his own vocal performance. In his modesty, he likened his singing style to that of Chad Kroeger, the lead vocalist of Nickelback.
When LaBelle collaborated with Mailata, the Eagles' formidable tackle expressed feelings of anxiety when performing in the presence of a luminary of her stature. Mailata's passion for singing since his youth was a well-known fact, as he revealed in an interview with ABC 6 earlier in the week. He shared, "Prior to sports, music was my earliest affection."
Jason, however, lauded Mailata's profound musical talents, asserting that he has been diligently learning the banjo in the locker room during this season.
Travis heaped praise upon the album during the podcast, describing it as "a truly distinctive and remarkable creation." He extended his applause, remarking, "Hats off to you all."
This symphonic masterpiece, 'A Philly Extravagant Christmas Spectacle,' will be available for enthusiasts on the first day of December.
