DeDe in the NewsDue to strong demand for her latest album, World of Christmas, Artist and songwriter, DeDe, released a Deluxe Edition of World of Christmas with her worldwide distribution partner label, JTV Digital. World of Christmas debuted on the iTunes Top 40 New Christmas Releases 2013 Chart in Nov. 2013, and singles “Deck the Halls”, “Silent Night”, and originals “One Child” and “Song in the Air/ IL Est Ne” are already hits. DeDe has over 90K Social Media and email fans worldwide and growing. 6 songs from World of Christmas were in the Top 10 on CRW, an independent Inspirational Release Chart.

World of Christmas was rated “5 Stars-I loved it!” by theCelebrityCafe.com, a blog with over 1 Million visitors monthly. DeDe’s unique new video, “One Child” was also given “4.6 out of 5 stars” in this same review. Cyber PR has been doing DeDe’s publicity along with Nati Celebs. Phoenix, the Music Reviewer for the LA Examiner says: “DeDe’s World of Christmas could just turn your Silent Night into a Joyful Christmas.”

This Deluxe Edition is available worldwide, and includes all 10 of the World of Christmas tracks, plus two additional singles by DeDe: “Psalm on Danny Boy” (DeDe’s version of the 23rd Psalm set to the classic tune, Danny Boy), and DeDe’s original arrangement of “The Prayer”. These two songs were previously released on her first Album, Clear Skies Ahead, and represent two of the best-loved tracks from this 14-song release.

World of Christmas was produced by Grammy-Winning Producer of the Year, Jeff Bova (Celine Dion’s Falling Into You-1996). About her experience working with Jeff, DeDe says this:

"’World of Christmas’ is by far the highest quality project I've ever worked on, and Jeff Bova is an absolutely amazing producer. He's extremely hard-working and talented, yet was also very easy to work with and accommodating.  In fact, we were on the same page on almost every decision, music style and song on this project.  For example, I would say, "Hey Jeff let's give 'Deck the Halls' a sort of Latin Bossa feel with a good funk beat and make it slightly retro. Then he came up with this fantastic Sergio Mendez sounding beat that was exactly what I had in mind.  'Deck the Halls' grew into one of the most unique and strong tracks on the CD, largely due to all this great synergy we had. And to get industry legends like Tim Pierce on guitar, John Pierce on bass, and Denny Fongheiser on percussion, among other top talents, was like ear candy for the soul for me!"  

“So, ‘World of Christmas’ is not only exceptionally strong musically, but it has great world music beats and lots of variety. I get bored easily, and friends were commenting to me that they were ‘tired of hearing the same old same old Christmas songs year after year’. I agreed, and so I decided to create something really new and unique that would capture everyone’s attention and their hearts. I also wanted to inspire people around the world-at the same time retaining that traditional flair and nostalgic feeling that we all need at Christmas. ‘World of Christmas’ is the culmination of great music synergy, awesome production, and the timeless appeal of great new music, combined with the nostalgia of Christmas memories past.” -DeDe Wedekind, Artist, arranger, and songwriter on 'World of Christmas'
