Justin Gambino Ushers in the Season with a Joyful Twist on a Timeless Carol
Award-winning singer/songwriter Justin Gambino is bringing a fresh perspective to the holiday season with his newly released arrangement of “Joy to the World”, now streaming on all platforms. Infused with his signature folk/rock style and featuring a vibrant, original chorus, the reimagined classic breathes new life into one of the most beloved Christmas carols of all time. Produced by longtime collaborator Walter Halliwell, who also helmed Gambino’s critically acclaimed 2023 album Made New, this rendition combines musical innovation with spiritual depth. Inspired by the hymn’s origins in Psalm 98 and its focus on Christ’s Second Coming, Gambino’s version is a celebration of hope, faith, and the joyful anticipation of God’s ultimate promise.
This release crowns a remarkable year for Gambino, who was recently named Artist of the Year Christian/Gospel/Inspirational Male at the 10th Annual Josie Music Awards. As he prepares to host the 5th Annual Brazoria County Revival on December 14—a heartfelt night of worship and testimony in his Texas hometown—“Joy to the World” serves as a timely reminder of God’s faithfulness. “In a world full of distractions, it’s imperative for followers of Christ to stay focused on His work,” Gambino shares. “This song is a call to love well and keep our eyes on the skies, knowing His return is near.” With its infectious arrangement and profound message, Gambino’s take on “Joy to the World” promises to bring light and inspiration to listeners this Christmas season.
