“Christmas Carol Cover Songs”, which is released every year, is a playlist that collects familiar songs that are indispensable for the holidays and Christmas season, and each song is covered by a different popular artist every year.

This year’s playlist features a lineup of notable people, including singer Rachel Platten, known for her song “Fight Song,” Kentucky singer MaKenzie, up-and-coming country artist Zach Top, and artist/producer Lizzy McAlpine.

In addition, Tade Dust will also appear as a guest on Apple Music’s original radio program “Tokyo Highway Radio Episode 165″ which will be released today. Regarding his impressions of participating in this playlist, he said the following. “The song this time doesn’t have much of an impression of the original song, but I was given a lot of freedom to do it, and it was a new experience, and I learned a lot of new things.”
Regarding experiencing music with spatial audio, he said, “I think it’s a completely new way to experience music, and with this song, you can hear the original melody in great detail, so it’s a new way to enjoy it.” In addition, he also talked about the background of the production of the just-released album “TAD”.
Similarly, “Classical Christmas Carols Cover Songs” is a playlist where you can enjoy Christmas songs and carols performed with unique interpretations by famous classical musicians.
