A Cali Christmas: Jovonta Patton’s Heartfelt Christmas Gift to the World
Jovonta Patton, the #1 Billboard-charting artist and recipient of the 39th Stellar Gospel Awards’ New Artist of the Year honor, is back to delight the hearts of music lovers everywhere with his first-ever Christmas EP, A Cali Christmas. This highly anticipated release marks a new milestone for the Minneapolis gospel sensation, celebrating the warmth of the holiday season with a deeply personal touch under his new partnership with Integrated Music Rights, part of the Integrity Music family.
Recorded live, A Cali Christmas is a soul-stirring masterpiece produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Phil Cornish, with production support from Julian Roberts. The EP isn’t just music—it’s a heartfelt dedication to Patton’s youngest daughter, Cali, born on Christmas Day in 2019 and named after the sunny state of California. Each note radiates the love and joy that makes Christmas magical, blending timeless classics with fresh original songs that promise to become seasonal favorites.
A Personal and Family Affair
Patton’s family takes center stage in this festive project, making A Cali Christmas more than an album—it’s a legacy. The EP features a heartwarming rendition of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” brought to life by his daughters Ella, Zoey, and Cali, alongside the vibrant energy of PG3. Patton’s inclusion of his family isn’t just a feature; it’s a celebration of togetherness and the generational bonds that holidays nurture.
The EP also includes appearances from gospel powerhouse Vincent Tharpe & Kenosis, adding an extra layer of richness and dynamism. Their collaboration on “A King Is Born” elevates the project with anthemic worship and reverence for the true meaning of Christmas.
Holiday Classics with a Fresh Twist
Patton’s soulful voice breathes new life into cherished Christmas classics, including “Oh Come Let Us Adore Him” and “Oh Holy Night.” These tracks, recorded live, exude the vibrant, worshipful energy of a concert experience, while tracks like “Mary, Did You Know?” offer reflective worship flows that guide listeners into a deeper spiritual connection during the season.
However, what truly sets A Cali Christmas apart are its two original compositions: “Christmas Is Here” and “A King Is Born.” Both songs, penned by Patton, blend the celebratory and sacred elements of Christmas, making them timeless additions to the holiday music canon.
A Soundtrack for Every Moment
“This album is designed for you to worship, shop, cook, open gifts, and sing with your family for years to come,” Patton shares. With its classic, mature approach, A Cali Christmas perfectly encapsulates the myriad emotions of the season. Whether you’re trimming the tree, preparing a feast, or enjoying quiet moments by the fire, this EP is a versatile companion to all your holiday traditions.
