Elton John and Irish singer CMAT have recorded a new version of John’s Christmas song “Step Into Christmas” for Amazon Music, Nieuws.nl reports.
The original was released in 1973. Though it was not a major hit at the time, the song later became a Christmas classic and now returns to the charts around the festive season each year, according to the Dutch outlet.
John said he had been a fan of CMAT since first hearing her music and seeing her videos. He praised her personality and humour, and said her work drew on rock ’n’ roll, country and Americana. “We’re kindred spirits in many ways,” he said, adding that he was excited to record the song together.
