Don't get me wrong, I’m a sucker for the classics and the jolly tunes. 'I also just wanted to make a Christmas album that I personally would want to listen to. 'Naturally, it’s almost impossible for me to avoid looking through my lens so as a result, everything I write, whether it be about Christmas, for an album even covering a song, always has that consistent sound,' Claudio told iHeartRadio of the set's torchy sonics.
