Many of us first heard of the legendary quartet (now trio) Boyz II Men more than three decades ago, when they were showing off their harmonic chops on "MotownPhilly" and "Hard To Say Goodbye to Yesterday." So it is no surprise that group co-founder Shawn Stockman is attracted to other acts that have something special going on vocally. And for the 2022 holiday season, Stockman joins award-winning a cappella vocal act Vadé and Erik “Blu2th” Griggs on a song that captures the kind of vibe that we first felt from Stockman and his group years ago.
As Vadé member Roy Crisp tells us, “Having the opportunity to collaborate on a track with one of our biggest influences has been an indescribable experience. Boyz II Men paved the way for artists like ourselves and so working with Shawn is such an honour.”

"Christmas Wish" is a light, syncopated song, featuring swirling harmonies and lyrics that capture the feeling of romantic love at the holidays. It is a great addition to the 2022 holiday season, and a track that will capture fans of all of the artists involved. Check it out below.
