Christian Bautista releases "A Wonderful Christmas" album




Asia’s Romantic Balladeer Christian Bautista releases his first ever full-length Christmas album under Universal Records. The handsomely packaged CD entitled “A Wonderful Christmas” features timeless Yuletide classics as well as contemporary Christmas tunes and some inspirational numbers that surely bring back wonderful holiday memories. Produced by Platinum Producer Ito Rapadas, "A Wonderful Christmas" features a duet with Diamond Record Awardee Jose Mari Chan's daughter Liza Chan-Parpan in "The Gift of Christmas", written by Jose Mari's son Michael Chan. Another rare treat is the inclusion of Christian's first ever Christmas composition entitled "Christmas Time".

"Romance Revisited: The Love Songs Of Jose Mari Chan" has gone a long way since its release last year. The album was recently certified Triple Platinum here in the country. It was also released in Indonesia (where it was certified Double Platinum for 1 million downloads), Malaysia, Singapore and soon Thailand! Christian had the privilege of collaborating with each territory's major songstress like Bunga Cistra Lestari (Indonesia), Noryn Aziz (Malaysia) and Kewei Tay (Singapore). Due to his popularity in Indonesia, Christian will be flying there to shoot his first solo starrer movie titled 'Senandung Luar Biasa' ('Jayden's Choir') which will be shown in 2011. Christian Bautista is currently a mainstay of ABS CBN's Sunday noontime show ASAP XV and can also be seen as one of the hosts in Sharon Cuneta’s latest talent search show in ABS-CBN called Star Power.
