American multiple GRAMMY Award winner , Carrie Underwood, will release her first-ever Christmas album, “MY GIFT” globally on September 25, 2020.
Underwood, who teased the holiday release during her virtual fan club party this summer, now shares a trailer for the album which includes footage from the recording studio, album cover photo shoot, and a personal message about how she arrived at the title, MY GIFT.
The artist stated:
“I’ve always wanted to make a Christmas album and it’s been a long time coming,” .
“I knew this would be my next music project after wrapping my tour last year, and I think it’s turned out to be the perfect time for an album like this, in this period of such personal and spiritual reflection.
For me, it’s more important than ever to focus on the true meaning of Christmas in a project like this.
Even though it has been a tough year for all of us, sometimes I feel like the greatest realizations can be inspired by the most difficult times, and make us more grateful for the things we do have and for what truly matters.”
On MY GIFT, Underwood welcomes a stellar list of musical collaborators, led by GRAMMY Award-winning producer, mixer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Greg Wells, who produced and arranged the album.
MY GIFT features a world-class orchestra, led by the pre-eminent arranger, composer, and conductor David Campbell.
It is mixed by 14-time GRAMMY Award winning mixer, Serban Ghenea.
Although Underwood has previously recorded several Christmas songs which have become instant classics, her first full-length holiday album has been highly-anticipated by her fans around the world.
The album will feature a combination of beloved traditional favorites celebrating her faith and the spiritual nature of the holiday, as well as original material (track list, songwriters, and special guests will be revealed at a later date).
Pre-orders of the My Gift CD with exclusive merchandise are available here. My Gift will also be released on vinyl on October 30.
Pre-orders of the vinyl will be available soon.
