Happy Holidays: Limited-time offer featuring some of the year’s best artists delivering all-new holiday music

There’s nothing like celebrating the holidays with your favorite musical artists. HiFi Magazine assembled some of the powerful forces in pop music on one spectacular 80-minute sleigh ride that promises to make the season bright(er). With 19 tracks loaded, HiFi Christmas, the first mixtape we’ve offered featuring seasonal Christmas music, contains musical performances from Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Maroon 5, R. Kelly, Lady Antebellum, Musiq Soulchild, Annie Lennox, Train, Sheryl Crow and many others.

Special to the collection is the gospel-soul duet featuring Joss Stone and Elton John on “Calling It Christmas,” Train’s popular holiday single “Shake Up Christmas” (heard in the 2010 Coca-Cola holiday campaign commercials), Maroon 5’s take on the John Lennon’s Vietnam protest song “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” and the Chicago stepping grooves heard on the all-new Christmas remix of R. Kelly’s “Love Letter.” And there’s no denying the power in the vintage soul of Sharon Jones’ “No Chimney In the Projects,” El DeBarge’s sweet falsetto on “Christmas Without You” or the warm moving balladry heard on the alternative rock of Coldplay’s “Christmas Lights.”

The album download was available for a limited time at HiFi Magazine’s web site (www.hifimagazine.net) but has since been replaced with a Flash MP3 music player. The music will be featured here until January 10, 2011.
