For KING + COUNTRY just provided it. The Grammy-winning duo has shared "Little Drummer Boy (LIVE)," their new single, a heart-racing, cinematic version of the beloved holiday classic. Straight from their newly released live album of the same name, A Drummer Boy Christmas, this take turned a humble carol into an arena spectacle in its own right.
Joel and Luke Smallbone have become known for pushing boundaries with faith-based music, and "Little Drummer Boy (LIVE)" is no different. From the opening beat, the energy is unmistakable, with drums pounding, soaring vocals, and an orchestral arrangement that sounds like it was made for the big screen. It's not so much a performance as it is an experience, one that brings the tale of the lowly drummer boy into sharp relief with renewed ferocity.
Captured during one of their must-see Christmas tour dates stops, "Little Drummer Boy (LIVE)" was made to capture all of the electric energy of KING + COUNTRY's live shows, the screaming audience, the shining lights, the unfiltered emotion. It's a reminder that music has the power to stir the soul, not just another holiday cover, not with its bold dynamics and theatrical push.
"Little Drummer Boy (LIVE)" captures what Christmas is all about, offering your best, no matter how small. And for KING + COUNTRY, they've served up a performance that is anything but small.
