Gabby Barrett’s Voice is the Candlelight This Holiday Season Needs
In a world of hectic holiday noise, Gabby Barrett’s Carols and Candlelight (Deluxe) arrives as a moment of serene, soul-stirring clarity. The multi-Platinum star extends her first-ever Christmas album with two poignant covers from iconic film soundtracks, but it is her breathtaking take on “When Christmas Comes to Town” from The Polar Express that truly captionivates. Where the original duet charmingly contrasted a child’s joy with another’s inexperience, Barrett masterfully unites these two perspectives within her singular, powerful voice. Produced by Ross Copperman, the track transforms from a childlike whisper into a sweeping anthem of wonder, elegantly built on soulful piano and soaring strings. Barrett doesn’t just sing the song; she embodies the very journey from wistful longing to full-hearted belief, creating an unforgettably enchanting update that feels both fresh and timeless.
This deluxe edition solidifies Barrett’s unique position in the modern musical landscape, effortlessly bridging the fierce emotionality of her chart-topping hits like “I Hope” with the sacred reverence of the season. From the spirit-lifting gospel of “Go Tell It On The Mountain” to the intimate duet with her husband, Cade Foehner, the album is a carefully curated collection that spans eras and emotions. With Carols and Candlelight (Deluxe), Barrett does more than just sing Christmas songs; she creates a sanctuary of sound. She reminds us that the season’s magic isn’t found in the frenzy, but in the quiet, powerful moments of connection and faith, all illuminated by the stunning candlepower of her one-of-a-kind voice.
