The Best 2025 Christmas Music!

 

The Beat's! - Best 2025 Christmas Music!

That is right, it has been a hot minute since I have done an annual article on my personal favorite Christmas music. I am finally sitting down to make this happen. I did my typical research of what albums/EPs were released in 2025 and did my listening. 

The following are my absolute favs this year:

1) Trisha Yearwood - Christmastime 

2) Kylie Minogue - Christmas Fully Wrapped

3) Eric Benet - It's Christmas

4) Mikey Guyton - Feels Like Christmas

5) Chris Mann - Santa, We're Ready!

12 years and going strong!

That is right our online publication premiered with our first publication in 2011. Here we are twelve years later and have span such diverse music on a global level. This is exactly what we are all about which is introducing people to great music and giving artists a platform to be seen.

"The Beat!" successfully put out in a grand way exclusive interviews, our own Artist in Residence Program, The Story Behind The Song, and so much more. This is something that without the readers and fellow music enthusiasts we would not have lasted this long.

We want to continue being a springboard for Independent Artists, helping with get more visibility. It is a team effort and it is a huge THANK YOU to one and all. 

2023 will be another banner year for The Beat!" with more new interviews, exclusive interviews, and other new features we are excited to announce very soon.

Kylie Minogue gives us REAL GROOVE ON DISCO: GUEST LIST ALBUM!

 

Kylie Minogue – “Disco: Guest List Edition”

Only a year later one of my favs Kylie Minogue releases her fourteenth (yes 14!) studio album, “Disco“, an expanded edition of the album has been issued. This "Guest List" version has new elements that will be a treasure for all Kyle fans such as three new collaborations, “Real Groove”, with Dua Lipa and a number of mixes of “Magic“, “Say Something” and “Dance Floor Darling”. And as if that were not enough, Kylie has also thrown in her Infinite Disco performance on DVD/Blu Ray AND a whole album of extended versions of the twelve tracks on the original standard album!  I have to say I am still a person that enjoys digital though my fav musical artists still want a hardcopy, that is correct I am old school big time. 

Having yet been able to tour the “Disco” album, Kylie has spent most of 2021 pressing grapes while the album has continued to perform well on digital and streaming, getting more than one hundred million and counting plays on Spotify alone, while the videos for the two main singles, particularly “Magic”, have also remained consistently popular throughout this period.

Let’s pick up the new album and see the non-stop grooves from start to finish which will not disappoint.
