Dear Reader
Today is the day!
After years of dreaming, planning, fundraising, recording, traveling, praying, and wondering how all of the pieces would come together, we finally get to share the cover of our new Double Keyed Christmas album:
This project has taken us across the pond to Abbey Road Studios in London, down South to Nashville, and into a musical wonderland we will never forget.
We created Joy! to offer something unique, beautiful, and joyful for the Christmas season. The album is filled with beloved Christmas carols, thoughtfully reimagined and custom-arranged for piano, oboe, English horn, children’s choir, and the full London Symphony Orchestra.
And now you can pre-order your copy.
When you pre-order, your music will be delivered on November 6, our global release day.
How to pre-order:
- Click the red "Pre-Order Joy!" button below.
- Choose your format: CD or digital download.
- Complete your order.
On November 6, the music will be yours.
Fun fact: We ended the week of recording with a photo shoot.
And if it looks like we were having fun...we were.

Why pre-order?
Pre-orders may seem like a small thing, but they help us tremendously.
- They tell us you’re waiting for the music.
- They help us build momentum before release day.
- And they give Joy! a stronger start when it officially releases around the world on November 6.
Today is also "Bandcamp Friday", which means Bandcamp waives its revenue share so more of your purchase goes directly to the artist. Normal payment processing fees still apply.
So if you’ve been waiting for a meaningful way to support this project, pre-ordering Joy! today would be a beautiful gift - not only to yourself, a friend, or even a family member - but to us and our friends at MS FitEffect.
Thank you for helping us bring this music all the way to this moment.
We can’t wait for you to hear it.
With true joy and gratitude,
Frances & Kirstin
