Picture this: a cozy restaurant in downtown Los Angeles, the twinkling glow of holiday lights, and the soothing voice of grentperez filling the air. That’s exactly the vibe you’ll get from ‘Christmas (Live from a Restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles)’, the Filipino-Australian artist’s latest gift to fans.
This holiday collection isn’t just another Christmas album. It’s a heartfelt mix of live renditions, original holiday hits, and soulful takes on Christmas classics—all wrapped up in the warm glow of grentperez’s signature charm.
Released via Fast Friends and AWAL Recordings, the album is a treat for anyone who loves the magic of the season. And the best part? You don’t just get to hear it—you can also watch the festive performances online! Grentperez’s live versions of his original songs “Christmas Starts Tonight” and “When Christmas Comes Again” bring a personal touch that feels like a warm hug on a cold December night.
If that’s not enough to put you in the holiday spirit, his soulful covers of “Please Come Home For Christmas” and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” will do the trick. Whether it’s the jazzy charm or the heartfelt delivery, these tracks feel like they’re straight out of your favorite Christmas movie.
In true grentperez fashion, this project comes with a story. “I was sitting around in LA when I felt the Christmas spirit take over,” he shared. “I thought, ‘Welp, this year went by quick. I can’t turn up to Christmas empty-handed! Let’s do a live version!’” And thus, this beautiful collection was born.
The festive vibes are catching on fast. In just under a month, “Christmas Starts Tonight” racked up over 86,000 streams, while “When Christmas Comes Again” hit a whopping 115,000 streams. Fans in the Philippines have been especially loving these tracks, proving that grentperez’s music strikes a universal chord.
