Lobo makes himself (and you) at home in a Winter Wonderland in his new holiday EP — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The soft rock superstar’s four-song holiday offering features his warm and wistful vocals on the seaonsal favorites Winter Wonderland and Frosty the Snowman, along with two original songs he wrote with Billy Aerts, Late Christmas Eve and A Big Kid’s Christmas.
“The theme is sort of centered around non-traditional Christmas songs,” explains Kent LaVoie, who records as Lobo. “I always thought Frosty The Snowman was a fun song and I’m hoping people will noticed how I played around with the ending a little bit. And I especially liked recording Winter Wonderland. It has two different melodies and the chord structure is so nice.”
The EP also includes two original songs that Lobo released as singles in 2021. “The holidays are special for everyone, from kids on up through grandparents, so I wanted to write something a little different: Songs from an adult’s point of view that tell the story of how a lot of us see Christmas,” he adds.
“A Big Kid’s Christmas is about grandma and grandpa and what Christmas means to them after all these years together. And Late Christmas Eve reflects that moment when you and your spouse have finished putting all the presents out for the kids, it’s 11 o’clock and you’re worn out but swept up in the emotion of it all, cherishing that tonight’s all ours and tomorrow is theirs.”
Lobo’s dreamy love songs dominated adult contemporary charts for decades — he has 12 Top 20 hits and four No. 1s to his name — and remain popular around the world. He reaches over a million monthly listeners and has nearly 200,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel, where a video for I’d Love You To Want Me has been viewed more than 43 million times.
