NASHVILLE, TENN. (October 25, 2024) — Warner Music Nashville’s Gabby Barrett captures the emotional ache that often lies behind the joyful season in “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” presenting the timeless favorite in stunning splendor. Listen here and watch the visualizer.

Wrapped in the MULTI-PLATINUM star’s rich, shimmering vocal, Barrett’s take on the Christmastime standard (written by Walter Kent, Kim Gannon, and Buck Ram) features luxurious tones and unrivaled power. Seeming to echo with haunting beauty through a cold, still night, she creates a captivating sense of longing and separation – while still hoping for a miracle to come.

Marking the first release off Barrett’s forthcoming Christmas album, Carols and Candlelight, she’s backed by delicate piano, wistful steel, and a striking nylon-stringed guitar solo on the Ross Copperman-produced tune, helping further tap the simple, heart-wrenching loneliness of being apart from those you love during the holidays.

Featuring the award nominated “Go Tell It On The Mountain” by for KING & COUNTRY (feat. Gabby Barrett), and more collaborations including her husband Cade Foehner (“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”) and The Piano Guys (“O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”), Carols and Candlelight releases November 8 and is now available for pre-save/pre-add.
