Kristine W Releases Holiday Album, "HEY MR. CHRISTMAS"

Celebrate one of the country's most talented performers during everyone's favorite time of year, Christmas.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) November 18, 2008 -- Fly Again Music adds jingling groove to this year's holiday season with the release of Kristine W's first Christmas album, Hey Mr. Christmas. In it, Kristine's beautiful voice commands front and center, with her trademark rhythmic beats providing brilliant back-up. She adds dance floor spice to tastefully selected holiday favorites, plus offers an unplugged remake of her #1 smash "Wonder of It All", performed live with legendary pianist and composer Jim Brickman. She also introduces two new holiday tunes, penned by the superstar herself. Hey Mr. Christmas releases exclusively to Borders Books and Music on Tuesday, November 18 and worldwide on i-Tunes on Tues, December 2.

Hey Mr. Christmas begins with "Mr. Christmas", a tribute to Kristine's assistant who is fighting in Iraq, and "Everyday's a Holiday". Both tracks were written by Kristine, in collaboration with the UK's award-winning songwriting and production team, Love to Infinity. Then the dance music icon knocks the holiday stockings off the chimney with a remake of Dolly Parton's "Hard Candy Christmas" and an electro mix of "Mary Did You Know". She breathes new life into The Sound of Music's "Favorite Things" with a newly written verse and a slick lounge sound; then caps Hey Mr. Christmas off with a show-stomping, diva-licious dance floor rendition of "O Holy Night".

"We need an uplifting holiday album now more than ever before," explained Kristine at this week's announcement of Hey Mr. Christmas at the Fly Again offices in Las Vegas. "Earlier in the summer, when my assistant was called to serve his country, I realized this season was going to be a particular challenge. Americans are dealing with an overwhelming amount of crisis, both at home with the financial upheaval and abroad with the war. I decided to stop working on my Power of Music album and pour all of my heart and soul into this project. Hey Mr. Christmas is happy holiday record and I'm excited to offer my fans a reason to smile this season."

Kristine W is beloved for her string of #1 dance floor hits including "Land of the Living", "One More Try", "Stronger" and "Feel What You Want". She currently holds the world's record for Most Consecutive #1 Billboard Club Hits. In 2004, she surpassed superstars Madonna and Janet Jackson's record of seven #1 songs in a row; and in 2005, she broke her own record with the release of "Wonder of It All", her ninth consecutive #1.

Adding to her notable accomplishments, Kristine is a leukemia survivor. Last year, she celebrated five years of remission.

Kristine W is a fourth generation entertainer hailing from Pasco, Washington. After winning titles as Miss Tri-Cities and Miss Washington, and placing first in the talent competition at the Miss America pageant, Kristine went on to pursue her educational and musical dreams in Las Vegas. She headlined her own show at the Las Vegas Hilton, winning several 'Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year' awards and earning the distinction as the entertainer who performed more live shows at the Las Vegas Hilton than any other performer in its history - including Elvis. The award led to June 28th being officially sanctioned Kristine W day in the state of Nevada.
