Tom Chaplin follows the success of his acclaimed solo album ‘The Wave’ (which debuted at #3 in the UK album Chart) with a glorious new disc ‘Twelve Tales of Christmas’ out November 17th on Island Records.

This stunning collection features 8 original songs co-written by Tom and 4 inventive covers. “Christmas is my favorite time of year,” says Tom who has fond memories from his childhood.

“The passing years have conspired to erode that magic but I still feel its presence when I gather together with my family.” Produced by David Kosten and recorded at Abbey Road, Muttley Ranch, and Snap Studios, the album includes evocative covers of ‘Walking In The Air’, Joni Mitchell’s classic ‘River’, the Pretenders ‘2000 Miles’ and the immortal E17 ‘Stay Another Day.

Determined to capture the wonderful side of Christmas music, Tom has written some soon-to-be modern-day Christmas classics including the new single ‘Under A Million Lights’ and ‘Midnight Mass’.
