Marc Martel Partners with Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith & Others for "The Christmas Collection Volume II"

Marc Martel

Marc Martel, the face and voice of The Queen Extravaganza, returns with The Christmas Collection Volume II on Nov. 4. Comprising of 18 tracks, the album puts together some of Martel's Christmas singles he has had released in the last few years and some newly recorded tracks. One of the album's highlights is "The Christmas Waltz," a duet with the multiple Grammy Award winning artist, Amy Grant. The track is a throwback to simpler times that bring back favorite family memories, and the version by Martel and Grant would make the original performers, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, very proud.

Additional tunes include "I'll Be Home For Christmas," "I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day," and "White Christmas." Martel has another surprise for his fans. He performs a brand new recreation of Lauren Daigle's debut single in 2013, "Light of The World," and Martel's dynamic vocal range brings a new spirit to the beloved song. Martel gives another interpretation of a Queen performance, as in the 1980's "Thank God It's Christmas." This was the only holiday offering in the career of the rock band.

Martel's 2019 Christmas single, "Silver Bells," reached the top of the charts at Billboard's Monitored AC and Mediabase AC Christian charts. The song was a partnership with Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant and Martel, and was the number one most added AC song three weeks straight, received airplay on nearly 90 radio stations, had the biggest audience for a new Christmas song, and had exclusive premieres on People.com and Parade Magazine. Martel also joined Smith and Grant on their 2019 multi-city holiday tour as their special guest.
