Natalie Grant Signs with Capitol CMG and Announces Brand New Christmas Album
Nine-time Grammy nominee and five-time GMA Dove Awards Female Vocalist of the Year Natalie Grant is entering a brand new season in her career as she officially signs with Capitol CMG and unveils her highly anticipated holiday project, Christmas due for release on October 3rd and available to pre-save/pre-order. This release marks nearly two decades since her beloved holiday debut Believe and signals a joyful return to the festive music space for one of gospel and contemporary Christian music’s most powerful voices.
A Fresh Holiday Offering with Timeless Warmth
Christmas is a project that intertwines timeless tradition, heartfelt storytelling, and Grant’s powerhouse vocals. The album was recorded alongside her husband and longtime collaborator, Grammy Award-winning composer and producer Bernie Herms, ensuring a dynamic blend of artistry and authenticity.
Listeners can expect a rich, gospel-infused interpretation of “Hark The Herald Angels Sing,” a playful swing-inspired rendition of “Jingle Bells” modeled after Ella Fitzgerald, and the introduction of two standout originals. The first, “God’s Gift,” is a sweeping six-minute ballad filled with reverence and wonder, while the second, “Christmas Looks Good on You,” captures the joy and traditions of the Grant-Herms family.
Themes of Faith, Family, and Togetherness
At its heart, Christmas is more than a holiday record. It is a celebration of faith, family, and connection, values that have defined Natalie Grant’s artistry throughout her career. Reflecting on the release, Grant shared:
“It’s been 20 years since my last Christmas album, and making another one has been a dream in my heart for so long. Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I set out to create something timeless – full of nostalgia, warmth, and a few new songs that could stand beside the classics. I’m beyond excited to be partnering with Capitol CMG for the first time. Their passion and vision for this project made them the perfect home and the timing couldn’t be better. This is a partnership that just makes sense on so many levels, and I’m truly excited about what the future holds together.”
