Brett Young Rings in the Christmas Season With “Silver Bells” “I think a song that’s able to lend itself to so many different versions is a special thing.
Brett Young is bearing a holiday gift today, as he unwraps a surprisingly smooth version of a holiday favorite. His lustrous rendering of “Silver Bells” gives the Christmas classic a cool R&B flair, yet the background vocals make it feel warm and familiar. Embedded from www.youtube.com.
The wintry recording follows the No. 1 success earlier this year of “Catch,” as well as the release of his newest single, “Lady,” from an upcoming album. And because 2020 was unpredictable year, the unexpected arrangement of “Silver Bells” fits in neatly to the latest batch of country Christmas songs.
I hope that this song adds something special to your holidays,” she says.
Gabby Barrett is reminding listeners of the reason for the season in her elegant new recording of “The First Noel.” She recorded the thoughtful holiday song with producer Ross Copperman, showing a different, more reflective side of her vocal ability.
Barrett, who is one of CMT’s Next Women of Country, stated, “Christmas is one of my absolute favorite days of the year, and my faith is the cornerstone of my life, so being able to share both with ‘The First Noel’ is a gift. I feel so blessed to do what I do every day, and I hope that this song adds something special to your holidays.”
I wrote this while thinking about how weird/different the holidays will be, she says.
With another year gone by, Ingrid Andress embraces all of the holiday memories in “Christmas Always Finds Me,” a bittersweet song that still touches the heart. No matter where her life and career have taken her, this Colorado native seems to encounter the seasonal spirit somehow. Embedded from www.youtube.com.
“I wrote this while thinking about how weird/different the holidays will be this year for everyone,” she says. “But at the end of the day, there’s always room for enjoying the holidays, especially Christmas (or whatever you celebrate).”
They cover Little Saint Nick on deluxe edition of
On This Winter s Night
This winter just got a little cooler with the arrival of a deluxe edition of Lady A’s cozy holiday album,
On This Winter’s Night. Originally released in 2012, the festive project now offers four new tracks for the season. One of the brightest is their cover of “Little Saint Nick,” a merry tune by the Beach Boys that’s been part of the Christmas musical landscape since its 1963 bow.
Dense with words and those oh-so-high background vocals, “Little Saint Nick” isn’t the easiest song to sing along with, but a colorful new lyric video makes it fun to follow along as Lady A’s Charles Kelley capably takes the lead.
