Listen to iamjoshrouse's debut holiday album below 🎄
never had a Christmas album on his to-do list. But with a batch of appropriate songs and some guidance from Nick Lowe, he's put together BillboardThe Holiday Sounds
accumulates songs he wrote for his family during the holidays, not so much carols as anecdotes and reflections. Several tracks are about experiencing the holidays in a different place, which Rouse did over the course of 15 years living in Spain.
Rouse describes his holiday songs as an exercise he began more than a decade ago. "Around Thanksgiving or so I would take a musical idea I had and write a [holiday] song around it," he explains. "For the past 10 years I've been in Spain for Christmas. There was no snow or no real cold weather, so I would write some music to get in the Christmas spirit." But Rouse is quick to add that Christmas was still a special time of year in Valencia.
"I'd never want to say I haven't enjoyed Christmas the last 10 years, but it was different," he says. "There's no snow, but there are plenty of Christmas themes around. There's people shopping and Christmas music playing, and they definitely get in the spirit there. The food is slightly different, I guess, but it's mostly the same as it is here.
"Lately I haven’t been writing too much," he says. "I do have songs that haven’t made it onto a record that are lying around, waiting to see the light of day, but I'm slowing down a bit. This'll be my 13th album, so that's a lot of material. I have some good songs, but I don't have an album idea in mind, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet. We'll just have to wait and see.
