INGRID MICHAELSON GETS THE
FESTIVE SEASON UNDERWAY
WITH THE NEW SINGLE ‘THIS
CHRISTMAS’
‘THIS CHRISTMAS’ WAS WRITTEN FOR THE UPCOMING
HALLMARK CHANNEL
ORIGINAL MOVIE ‘A HEIDELBERG HOLIDAY’
RETURNED TO LONDON’S
UNION CHAPEL ON DECEMBER 1ST TO PLAY
THE INGRID
MICHAELSON CHRISTMAS TRIO SHOW
An artist with an endearing love for
celebrating the festive season, Ingrid
Michaelson got the celebrations underway as she shared
the original new song ‘This
Christmas’, which was written for the new Hallmark Channel Original
Movie ‘A Heidelberg Holiday’, which premiered on Movies 24 (available on Sky and Virgin
Media) on November 26th. The song arriveed ahead of her special Ingrid Michaelson Trio
Christmas Show, which came to London’s
Union Chapel on December
1st.
‘This
Christmas’ sees
Ingrid commemorating the season with all the warmth of an open
log fire. Twinkling like the fairy lights on a tree, the song is a gently
beguiling midwinter daydream in which Ingrid’s sweet, soft voice provides a picture postcard of the
big day. The song is wrapped in lyrics which capture the simple beauty of the
season as Ingrid sings, “It’s family and
friends, beginning and ends… Let’s make this Christmas the best we’ve ever
seen.” ‘This
Christmas’ was written by Ingrid and was produced by Ariza.
Watch the lyric video here:
Ingrid said, “I
was asked to write a song that runs under the final scene in an upcoming
Christmas Hallmark movie. I love all things Christmas so I jumped at the
chance. I watched the movie and wrote this song in a few inspired minutes after
the movie ended. I wanted to encapsulate the feeling of being present and
grateful in the moment, while also celebrating the most wonderful time of the
year!”
The track is released alongside a lyric video,
which features videos and photos submitted by fans. It compiles a selection of
touching, poignant and amusing clips of special Christmas memories with family
and friends.
‘A
Heidelberg Holiday’ focuses on Heidi, who receives the dream opportunity to sell her beautiful,
handmade glass ornaments at the prestigious Heidelberg Christmas Market in Germany. While there, she meets Lukas, a local artisan who helps her reconnect with her lost
heritage.
‘This
Christmas’ was set to be part of the Ingrid
Michaelson Trio Christmas Show. The show featured the trio’s sweet vocal
harmonies supported by guitar, keys and ukulele as they bring a joyous Christmas party to one of London’s most beautifully atmospheric venues. Ingrid’s previous Christmas special shows have mixed all-time seasonal classics
with selections from her ‘Songs
For The Season’ album and the ‘Snowfall’ EP plus select fan favourites and a few surprises too.
Ingrid adds, “London
is one of my favourite places to be around Christmas, and Union Chapel is one
of my favourite venues to play ever. I cannot wait to return!"
Ingrid played a second Christmas show with her
17th Annual Holiday Hop at the Webster Hall in New York on December 15th. The Holiday Hop livestreamed globally via Veeps and was available
for a 48 hour replay.
She has written the music and the lyrics for a new Broadway adaptation of the classic romantic drama ‘The Notebook’. It will play at the Gerald
Schoenfeld Theatre, with previews beginning on February 10th ahead of its opening night on March 14th. Tickets are available HERE.
‘The
Notebook’ tells the story of Allie and Noah, both from different worlds, who share a lifetime of love
despite the forces that threaten to pull them apart. Ingrid recently shared a
taste of what to expect from the musical in the shape of the song ‘If This
Is Love’. It captures the moment in which Allie first realises (with more than a little self-doubt)
that she’s falling for Noah.
Both ‘This
Christmas’ and ‘The
Notebook’ extend Ingrid’s ability to take her music in inspiring, multifaceted
directions. Highlights of her career to date include two Billboard Top 5 albums, interpreting the ‘Stranger Things’ narratives into music with the ‘Stranger Songs’ set, and composing/executive producing music for the AppleTV+/Jim Henson
Company Emmy-nominated pre-school series ‘Slumberkins’.
