Chris Kirby: In The Magic With You

Newfoundland-born Chris Kirby is well known for his songwriting abilities. Besides his own impressive recordings (like Close To You Again), he’s crafted songs for The Trews, Matt Andersen and Quote the Raven to name a few.

This year he’s released a new Christmas track called ‘In the Magic With You.’

The song was written last year for use in a movie, and this year it appears in the Hallmark Christmas movie “A Not So Royal Christmas.”

It’s a nice piece holiday pop that I’m sure will be on Christmas playlists for years to come. Which is pretty impressive since Kirby claims, “I cranked this out in my PJs in about an hour — fastest I’ve ever done.”

You can hear ‘In The Magic With You’ on all the usual streaming services and “A Not So Royal Christmas” is streaming right now.

More Christmas and Holiday Music from Newfoundland & Labrador

Stay tuned for more great Christmas songs from Newfoundland and Labrador.

I'm a big fan of traditional Christmas music, I love to hear a modern rendition of a 300 year old carol but, occasionally, a brand new song comes to my attention and dominates my Christmas listening. Newfoundland and Labrador's musicians have been holding their own in both regards. I’ll be sharing local songs —both old and new— from now until Christmas in my 2023 NL Music Advent Calendar.
