Fandoms like to argue over whether Mariah Carey or Darlene Love is the true queen of Christmas. But can you really be queen if you aren’t doing Christmas music, who has staked her claim as the only singer-songwriter of any renown who does nothing but original holiday songs. This year Chan is celebrating not just the holidays but the tenth anniversary of her first Christmas record.
Since I was a little girl, and even now, the minute that Christmas music starts, I literally listen to it 24 hours a day. And I actually think it’s cooler to be a Christmas music fan now, because I can listen to radio stations all over the world and find new Christmas songs, and I feel like it’s a scavenger hunt. It’s like going into like a musical thrift shop. Everyone plays different songs in different areas of the world. It’s kind of awesome.
You’ve tried to bring some heavier themes or emotions into some of your albums over the last 10 years and not have it be all frivolity. Well, I was battling a very serious illness, and there were times where I thought I wouldn’t make it through. And that’s when I wrote “If the Fates Allow.” Because that phrase has always stuck with me. In the history of Christmas music, we kind of gloss over that the original version of that song “We’ll have to muddle through somehow.” When Frank Sinatra did his version of the song, he actually made it more happy, but for some reason kind of stuck with me.
Oh, I never write during the season. I write music from January to February through maybe July and August, and then I record the album and I hand it in for distribution to all my partners. I come up with like the marketing plan and everything. And by September, I’m already working on promoting the album. Outside of the season, I’m still working on Christmas stuff, whether it’s licensing to film and television or scoring pieces. I mean, I’ve ghostwritten Christmas songs for artists, too.
