It’s just a few days away to December but Christmas is fully plunged into the air already. November bore song releases from gospel artistes, bringing a new sensation of the season to the air.
It is important that you update your Christmas playlist to the newest set of songs dedicated to the season and enjoy the new wave of the season.
Annatoria’s Present Jesu
On November 15, Annatoria released her first EP, Present Jesu, dedicated to the season with a set of five songs, all bearing titles related to the Christmas season. In her songs, she focused on the reason of the season rather than the season intertwining her faith and belief into the blend.
She explored using her language and English to create a melodic piece exploring afrobeats fusion. There is this African feel to the beat especially in the first song on the EP, Go Tell It On The Mountain such that it’s tailored to the delight of a regular African audience On this EP, she featured other artists like David Dvnk, Nashe, DC3.
Explore her new EP and I am sure you’ll find a song that resonates well with you and will fit well into your Christmas playlist.
Forrest Frank’s The Present
Also released on November 15, The Present explores the season with a lot of wishes. With a hip- pop beat that requires you to nod your heads and clap your hands.
In his single, the singer says the season is a present and he doesn’t really need gifts. He implores listeners that the seasons change but the most important thing is the constant love for Jesus because Christmas eventually fades.
For a Christian believer, this song emphasises the reason of the season, without discarding the concept of gifting. For Forrest Frank, the day is enough “present” for him.
With the Christmas sprinkling sounds on the best, it stimulates you into the season. If you’re a dance enthusiast, you’ve got dance moves pictured in your head already.
Caleb Gordon’s Reason for the Season
With the distinct style of Caleb’s spewing out his lyrics, he released a Christmas single special on November 12. Reason for the Season started on the Thanksgiving note for ups and lows in the year. It also talks about the celebration and also the reason of the season, Jesus.
It’s not a faith based song if it doesn’t recognise Christ as the only reason for the season.
It’s a song to groove to especially on Christmas morning with your family on a celebratory note.
Jonathan McReynolds’ Red and Green
We have got another Christmas album on this list from Jonathan McReynolds’ with a list of six songs. The EP blends traditional gospel, contemporary Christian music, and soulful R&B influences.

If you’re seeking uplifting holiday music to elevate your spirits, “Red & Green” is a must-listen.
