Calum Scott and Christina Perri created beautiful melodies together on “Kid at Christmas” in a duet that fans called the best Christmas song in years! The pair teamed up to drop the official video for the duet on November 30, 2024, just in time for the Christmas season. Scott’s fans no doubt felt their Christmas came early after the release, as his golden voice is the perfect choice for a festive piano ballad like this.
After Scott sings the opening verse, Perri drops in to sing the second verse, then the pair begin to harmonize leading into the second chorus. It won’t surprise The Music Man readers to hear that Scott and Perri’s voices just sound heavenly together. The performance is also a lot of fun to watch, as the pair sang together in a studio session for the official video, and they’re clearly having a ball singing on it together.
Scott released “Kid at Christmas” with Perri co-credited as a lead artist. The new Christmas song has proved to be popular with fans since its release, and the tune has already drawn 706,000 views on YouTube. Fans gave rave reviews below the video, adding comments such as “The best combination of voices. Two incredible artists with wonderful talent. How lucky to be spectators of this work of art” and “The best new Christmas song to be released in years. Absolutely beautiful.”
Scott is no stranger to singing Christmas songs, as he has lent his voice to several classics over the years. One of his best holiday tunes is “White Christmas,” which he recorded in a one mic, one take session at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. His vocal control and buttery high notes on the Bing Crosby classic are really something on this session.
Scott and Perri released the single “Kid at Christmas” to streaming services on October 25, 2024, and the official video the following month. Scott commented on the October release on his Instagram, saying, “‘Kid At Christmas’ is out now and yes, we KNOW it’s too early to be defrosting already but the label convinced us to release now! Enjoy!” Here at The Music Man we’re sure glad he released it early, as are his fans no doubt.
Scott also commented on the meaning of “Kid at Christmas,” saying the song is about “the magic of Christmas that you had growing up and reconnecting with that again with the one that you love. Christina is the perfect artist to duet this with and, as a huge fan of hers, I am honored to be sharing in this with her.”
