When it comes to reinvention and creativity, few artists can rival the endlessly imaginative Tor James Faulkner. Known for his chart-topping hits, genre-bending artistry, and fearless approach to pop music, Faulkner once again surprises and delights with the release of his brand-new holiday album, Xmas! — a vibrant, joy-filled project that captures the magic of the season through his unmistakable sound and unique creative lens.
Following the massive success of his albums The Reflection 2: The Other Side of the Mirror and Glitter Bug, Faulkner continues his incredible 2025 streak with this holiday release — a project that proves festive music can be as inventive, emotional, and danceable as anything in contemporary pop.
From the opening moments of “Snowstorm”, Faulkner immediately sets the tone for what’s to come — an exhilarating and heartfelt journey through the spirit of the holidays. Driven by a pulsing beat and shimmering production, the song blends modern pop energy with cinematic emotion. It’s no surprise that this track soared to #1 on the Malaysian airplay chart, confirming once again Faulkner’s global appeal and ability to connect with listeners across borders.

The following track, “Baby It’s Christmas,” turns up the energy with a radiant synthwave-meets-techno-dance arrangement, perfectly balancing nostalgia with contemporary flair. Its infectious rhythm and soaring melody make it one of those songs destined to become a holiday playlist staple — both familiar and futuristic in equal measure. Then comes “Christmas Disco,” a true centerpiece of the record. As vibrant as it is emotionally charged, the track delivers a powerful message about self-liberation and finding joy in your own company. It’s a song for everyone who’s ever felt left behind during the holidays, yet found freedom and happiness in dancing alone. With its groovy trumpet sections, disco-pop beats, and empowering lyrics, “Christmas Disco” captures Faulkner’s signature blend of storytelling and celebration.
The album also reveals Tor’s tender side through “I Believe in Christmas,” a heartfelt and melodic anthem that radiates warmth and sincerity. It’s a song that captures the true essence of the season — hope, love, and unity — and feels poised to become an international Christmas hit. Meanwhile, “Santa Baby” showcases Faulkner’s playful and theatrical side, switching seamlessly between melodic verses and clever rap sections, making it one of the most dynamic and entertaining moments on the album.
Closing with the beautifully intimate “What If,” Tor delivers a stunning vocal performance — gentle yet powerful, reflective yet full of light. It’s a perfect ending to an album that celebrates both joy and introspection, reminding listeners that the holidays are as much about connection and compassion as they are about glitter and fun.
