Time to celebrate the holidays, so these “Songs For Sunday” are from Kelly Clarkson’s beautiful holiday album “Wrapped In Red!”
“Wrapped in Red” was released in 2013 and consists of sixteen tracks – five original songs and eleven cover versions of Christmas standards and carols, two of which are duets featuring recording artists Ronnie Dunn, Reba McEntire and Trisha Yearwood.
As you can see from the cover, Kelly covers many classic holiday songs, but my favorites are the ones she wrote!
Kelly co-wrote the title track, “Wrapped in Red”, with Ashley Arrison, Aben Eubanks, and Shane McAnally. The song was inspired by a scene in the 2003 holiday film “Love Actually”, in which someone confesses unrequited love.
Here is the official video for the gorgeous song “Wrapped In Red”:
The album was a huge smash hit, debuting on the Billboard 200 chart at number 3 and was certified platinum. By the end of 2013, it was the year’s best-selling Christmas release in the United States and the second best-selling Christmas release in Canada.
The album’s lead single, “Underneath the Tree”, became an international top forty Christmas hit song and was radio’s most-played new holiday song of 2013.
Here is the video for “Underneath The Tree:”
Nothing like some Kelly Clarkson Christmas music to get the season underway!
Of course, Kelly is singing holiday songs all month long on her talk show!
