The stockings are hung by the chimney with care, and the sounds of the season are filling the air, courtesy of Centricity Music. The acclaimed label is delivering a sleigh-full of new holiday music from its beloved roster of artists, each offering a unique sonic gift designed to bring joy and hope to listeners everywhere. From heartfelt classics to fresh originals, this festive collection from Brandon Heath, Katy Nichole, Chris Renzema, Jason Gray, Natalie Layne, and The Choir Room is now reaching the masses through radio, streaming, and digital platforms, providing the perfect soundtrack for every Christmas moment.
Leading the charge is the timeless voice of Brandon Heath, who unwraps his full-length album, Long Expected. This 13-song project is a masterful blend of nostalgia and innovation, exploring the profound significance of Advent. The album becomes a true family affair, featuring Heath’s young daughters on “Baby in a Manger” and special guests like Francesca Battistelli and Tasha Layton. Meanwhile, chart-topper Katy Nichole offers her first Christmas EP, The Hope of Christmas, a five-song collection that balances festive fun with a comforting message for those who find the season difficult, beautifully underscored by a powerful duet with Matt Maher on “Our King Has Come.”
The festive offerings continue with Chris Renzema’s full-length album, Every December, a mix of originals and classics that launches just before his “Christmas in the Midwest Tour.” Acclaimed songwriter Jason Gray partners with Point of Grace for a heartwarming duet, “Comfort and Joy,” while rising artist Natalie Layne brings songs from her Glory EP on tour with Selah. Rounding out this musical celebration is The Choir Room, under the direction of award-winning producer Dwan Hill, presenting a soul-stirring rendition of the beloved carol “Silent Night.” This diverse and heartfelt lineup ensures that no matter how you celebrate, Centricity Music has a song to light up your holiday.
