2024 studio album by Lea Salonga

Sounding Joy is a studio album by Filipino singer Lea Salonga, and her second Christmas album, after The Christmas Album. It was released digitally and on CD on November 1, 2024.^[1][2]

The album was initially scheduled to release in 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the shutdown of the studio and delayed the release.^[3][4] It was officially announced on September 3, 2025, via social media.^[5]

In an interview, Salonga stated that the album embodies the message of “human resilience” and overcoming tragedy and obstacles, as “so much has happened [in all] of our lives since we started recording it.”^[3] In another interview, Salonga discussed the title of the album, stating that “the word ‘joy,’ besides paying homage to my mom, whose nickname is Joy, is also about learning not to take things for granted and really learning how to find joy.”^[4]
