Stevie Nicks-Jason Kelce Duet 'Maybe This Christmas' Out Now

PHILADELPHIA — Who had Jason Kelce duetting with legendary singer Stevie Nicks on their 2024 bingo card?

Well, the former Eagles center and lead singer for Fleetwood Mac have done just that as part of the upcoming holiday benefit album "A Philly Special Christmas Party."

"Maybe This Christmas" is out now and it features the unlikely duo on vocals.

This is the second single from the upcoming album and is described as an "Americana-tinged song" that "finds the duo trading verses brimming with hope that the season will inspire reconnection with lost loved ones."

In addition to highlighting the hopeful vocals between Kelce and Nicks, the song features Mike "Slo-Mo" Brenner’s dream-like pedal steel guitar perfectly capturing the beauty in the melancholy lyrics.

"I love 'Maybe This Christmas' for so many reasons - the shape of the melody, the way the chords have their own melodic arc, the feel - but I love it most of all for its message of hope and forgiveness," producer and drummer Charlie Hall, of the War on Drugs, said. "While the holidays are about togetherness, it also offers a time for reflection and sometimes that means considering ‘someone we love, someone we’ve lost, for reasons we can’t quite recall…’ And in today’s day and age, it’s nice to think that, indeed, ‘maybe this year love will appear deeper than ever before.’ I was really hoping this song would resonate with Jason when we were kicking around ideas for this record, and it’s clear from the way he inhabits that beautiful melody that it did. And to have Stevie Nicks, one of the all-time masters of emotional transference (and an all-time hero of mine) come in and amplify all this is such a dream. I love this duet so much."

There are no words to describe how incredible it is to have Stevie Nicks on this record," executive producer and former Eagles linebacker Conner Barwin said. "There is so much emotion in this song, and it was thrilling to be with them in the studio and watch her and Jason connect, be creative together, and witness this beautiful song become a reality."

The album’s first single, “It’s Christmas Time (In Cleveland Heights),” featuring performances from Jason and Travis Kelce duetting alongside Boyz II Men, is now available on all streaming platforms.
