Although it is Mint Condition’s first holiday album, the group’s approach was no different. “Healing Season” offers songs of reverie, reflection, reconciliation, and renewal,” said Mint Condition. “It’s about people – who don’t necessarily look, live, or see things alike – rising above old conflicts, wounds, and resentments in order to realize, reclaim, and celebrate a common humanity.”
“Healing Season” will also feature holiday classics and favorites. Bringing their entire arsenal of talent, Mint Condition lends their signature musical mastery to beloved classics with renditions of “Little Drummer Boy,” “A Child Is Born,” “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” and “Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto.”

Mint Condition continues as one of few high-profile examples of a self-contained Black music band that carries on the tradition of great R&B funk bands. The group continues to tour nationally and internationally. With 9 studio albums and a career that spans over two decades, Mint Condition’s “Healing Season,” is sure to become another defining moment in the group’s already remarkable career.
