The devoted Christian & chart-topping country artist brings a faithful sense of serenity to the project
Marking the first Christmas album of her multi-platinum career, Warner Music Nashville star Gabby Barrett will release the stunning Carols and Candlelight on November 8th. The first track, “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” will be available on Friday (Oct 25th)
“If you know me, you know that Christmas is my FAVORITE time of the year… so I have been so excited to announce my new Christmas album, Carols and Candlelight, will be available everywhere on 11.8 AND the first song release, ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas,’ is coming out THIS Friday, 10.25!” shared Barrett on Instagram. “I know we’re close to Halloween, but my heart is in HOLIDAY MODE!!!!!”
Meant to celebrate a season close to Barrett’s heart, the devoted Christian and chart-topping country artist brings a faithful sense of serenity to Carols and Candlelight.
Always keeping the spirit of the holiday front and center, Carols and Candlelight features 11 Christmastime favorites with a handpicked mix of traditional standards and heartwarming modern classics. From “The First Noel” and “Last Christmas” to lively collaborations featuring her husband Cade Foehner (“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”) and The Piano Guys (“O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”), Barrett works to capture the magic of a special time with meaning far beyond presents and parties, letting her acclaimed vocals shine bright.
Also included in the set is the awe-inspiring “Go Tell It On The Mountain” with For King & Country, which was nominated for Christmas Recorded Song of the Year at the 55th Annual GMA Dove Awards. Barrett joined the duo as a presenter during the award show, which took place at Lipscomb University’s Allen Arena in Nashville, TN.
Meanwhile, Barrett released her first single to contemporary Christian radio as a solo artist, sending “Jesus On A Train,” from her sought-after sophomore album Chapter & Verse, to stations nationwide. This follows previous CCM collaborations like “Build A Boat” with Colton Dixon, nominated at the tenth annual K-LOVE Fan Awards for Song of the Year, and Barrett’s “Got Me” featuring Shane & Shane.
On November 13th, Barrett will host her Giving for Good Show at the CMA Theater inside Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Joined by special guest Rachel Purcell, proceeds will benefit MURPHSLIFE.
