Gabby Barrett Lights Up The Season With Carols And Candlelight

GABBY BARRETT LIGHTS UP THE SEASON WITH CAROLS AND CANDLELIGHT Warner Music Nashville’s Gabby Barrett gives a warm welcome to the holidays with the release of her first-ever Christmas album, Carols and Candlelight. Available today (11/8), the 11-song collection includes a lovingly curated selection of cherished Christmas carols, time-honored Advent hymns, and joyous songs of celebration — all spotlighting the MULTI-PLATINUM star’s unforgettably beautiful talent. Listen here (preferred music platform) and check out the adjoining videos below:   ****   USE the Playlist play control 2nd left from top of the screen to see the playlisted..tracks and select to play from the drop down menu    ***  👇 Carols and Candlelight opens with Barrett’s poignant rendition of “Mary, Did You Know?” (written by Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene, and produced by Ross Copperman).  With its poetic contemplation of the relationship between Mary and her son, “Mary, Did You Know?” brings her distinct sensibilities to the modern Christmas classic, blending her bright and soulful vocals with a gorgeously subtle arrangement of pedal steel, piano, strings, and more. Along with showcasing the phenomenal range and nuance of her voice, the slow-burning and richly detailed track makes for a prime introduction to the full-length project’s stellar musicianship. Led by Ross Copperman, the GRAMMY-nominated hitmaker produced 10 of the 11 songs (Copperman previously joined Barrett in co-producing her acclaimed sophomore album, Chapter & Verse, and also notched production credits on her PLATINUM breakout debut, Goldmine). With its era-spanning mix of Christmastime favorites, Carols and Candlelight also includes standouts like “Go Tell It On The Mountain” (for KING & COUNTRY feat. Gabby Barrett) – an exultant Gospel number nominated for Christmas Recorded Song of the Year at the 55th Annual GMA Dove Awards. Elsewhere, Barrett joins forces with her husband Cade Foehner (on the sweetly playful “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”) and The Piano Guys (on her moody and majestic rendition of the Advent hymn “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”). All throughout the album, Barrett further reveals her heartfelt connection to the spirit of the season, imbuing each track with an emotional depth that’s closely tied to her experience as a devoted Christian. Next Wednesday (11/13), Barrett made her long-awaited headline debut in Nashville, TN, as she hosted her GIVING FOR GOOD SHOW at the CMA Theater inside the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Joined by special guest Rachel Purcell, proceeds from the show benefitted MURPHSLIFE. Watch her personal video message about the GIVING FOR GOOD SHOW here.    GABBY BARRETT’S CAROLS AND CANDLELIGHT TRACKLIST  1. “Mary, Did You Know?” (Mark Lowry, Buddy Greene)* 2. “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” (Walter Kent, Kim Gannon, Buck Ram)* 3. “A Christmas To Remember” (Dolly Parton)* 4. “The First Noel” (Traditional)* 5. “Baby, It’s Cold Outside (feat.
