Elizabeth Chan, ‘Queen of Christmas,’ on Channeling Grief Into Her 14th Straight Holiday Music Release, ‘Shatterproof’

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Singer-songwriter Elizabeth Chan set yet another benchmark in the annals of holiday music by issuing her 14th straight annual Christmas release, “Shatterproof,” this month. 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. Most impactfully, she was undergoing grief over the death of a close friend, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock (“Super Size Me”), this past spring, as well as her grandmother last December.
