Eldredge feels the "Glow"
The disc features Meghan Trainor teaming up with Eldredge on "Baby, It's Cold Outside." The release is the follow up to 2015's "Illinois," which had the hits "Lose My Mind," "Drunk On Your Love" and his current single "Wanna Be That Song."
"I always use the word magic when it comes to Christmas, but that's the feeling that 'Glow' gives me when I hear it. So it just seemed like the perfect title for a Christmas album."
"I've been inspired for this record from a very young age," said Eldredge. "I dreamed of the day I could record all these classic songs that I've loved since I was a little kid. I recorded those classics in New York City and tried to give a tip of the hat to the ones that came before me - Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Ray Charles - by adding that swing and that soul to the best of my ability. When it came to actually recording, I wanted to live in the experience. We hung Christmas lights in the studio in the middle of May and had musicians from the best bands in the world all in the same room - from horns to strings. Everyone was so inspired to make this classic record. I think it really shows in the songs and I can't wait for people to hear that magic we found."

CD reviews for Brett Eldredge
The title song for Brett Eldredge's "Songs About You" is a slow, soul song. Much of it is set in Chicago, with Eldredge walking city streets and noticing the various tunes being played on radio stations within earshot. And wouldn't you know it, every one of them reminds him of his recent breakup! Such is the case with many relationships – whether good or bad – as love songs can be so doggone relatable. It's almost like attending a Sunday morning sermon where ...
When an artist achieves the kind of commercial success that Brett Eldredge has, there seems to inevitably be an album that is all about the songwriting. Having described his 2017 self-titled album as his "most honest collection of songs," he doubles down on the sincerity factor and bills "Sunday Drive" as his "most deeply personal to date." The distinction is a fine line, but it seems to be in the deliberateness of the preparation.
