Elizabeth Chan, ‘Queen of Christmas,’ on Channeling Grief Into Her 14th Straight Holiday Music Release, ‘Shatterproof’
Elizabeth Chan, who has vied for the 'Queen of Christmas' crown, talks about the grief that inspired her EP 'Shatterproof,' her 14th holiday release.
No one is likely to come close to shattering that record for the highest number of consecutive seasonal albums or EPs, but Chan — who is known for having a claim on the “queen of Christmas” title — dealt with plenty of events in the past year that put some cracks in her mostly cheerful holiday façade. Chan has a bit of hesitancy in talking about Spurlock, who pretty much withdrew from the film business and public life generally in 2017 after releasing a seemingly unprompted statement admitting that he had been guilty of sexual misconduct in the past. Chan says she only ever saw an honorable side of the director, who helped start her out on the path to perennially making Christmas music by casting her on his documentary show “The Failure Club” and giving her a hard deadline to begin pursuing her holiday songwriting dream.
