Christmas Eve song of the day.

Baby, It’s Cold Outside - performed by Vanessa Williams and Bobby Caldwell from Vanessa’s album; “Star Bright.”

For me, it’s not Christmas unless this classic is heard. Watching this video from 1996 is very endearing to me. We miss you, Bobby!!

Wishing everyone a wonderful day filled with the very best of the season. 🎄✨

Well, Christmas Eve is a strange time to announce your new book, but here we are: Rhythm of My Heart, my authorized biography of the amazing Marc Jordan, is out there in the world at last! Star-studded, illustrated, and (according to one early review) “eminently readable,” the book tells the story of a Brooklyn-born Canadian’s journey from dyslexic schoolchild to sought-after hitmaker. It’s also a guided tour through a tumultuous half-century of popular music. Available everywhere as a paperback or ebook. —DB

IMC Album Pick of the Year
Selected by IMC Toronto correspondent
Don Breithaupt
Album: JANUARY, SAN FERNANDO
Artist: David Mead

David Mead’s ninth album, arguably his best, has charms large and small. It can beguile with rock-solid hooks, exceptional lead vocals, and world-class production, but its most memorable moments are subtler: a tonally perfect turn of phrase that’s twice as good as it needs to be, a quiet melodic leap that echoes lyrical meaning, an arrangement flourish so perfect you need to hear it again right away. Mead, who has shared stages with John Mayer, Fountains of Wayne, Joe Jackson, and Liz Phair, is a Nashville-based singer/songwriter who has proven overqualified for many of his chosen genre slots over the years. He writes songs in which no shade of meaning goes unexplored, and sings them in an unaffected, soulful, distinctively American tenor. January, San Fernando is the closest thing to a peak-period Paul Simon solo album I’ve heard this decade. Highly recommended!

Key Tracks: “Amelia,” “Maybe You’ve Had Enough,” “Dead Man’s Cake,” “San Leandro”

IMC Album Pick of the Year
Selected by IMC Boca Raton correspondent
Kim Reilly
Album: MIDDLE GROUND
Artist: Bernie Chiaravalle

I have chosen "Middle Ground" by Bernie Chiaravalle as my Album of the Year for 2025. As one of my favorite artists and songwriters, it's hard for me to overlook anything that Bernie creates. "Middle Ground" resonates deeply with the times we are living in and is highly relevant to our everyday lives. The title track, "Middle Ground," encapsulates the main message, while "A Loss For Words" evokes strong emotions and brings a tear to my eye. Each track carries its own emotion through Bernie's writing while continuing to showcase the musicianship and craft that he has honed over the years.

Bernie Chiaravalle has shared that he was inspired to write several songs over the past few years due to the events unfolding in our country. He selected these eight songs because they align with his feelings about the growing division in society, which social media and cable news have amplified. His hope is that listeners will find comfort in the music and remember that "You're Not Alone."

The album was produced and mixed by Bernie Chiaravalle, who contributed vocals, guitars, bass, ukulele, drums, and keyboards. Peter Penhallow added a Farfisa organ on the track "These Days (Anything Goes)."

Happy Holidays,

– Kim Reilly

Sad news for a Monday: Chris Rea has passed away. During the holidays, you've probably heard his song "Driving Home For The Holidays", which has become a staple holiday song worldwide. A favorite Chris Rea song is his 1978 hit "Fool (If You Think It's Over).

Rest in peace, Chris.
