If you’re craving a Christmas release that actually slows you down—one that feels peaceful instead of chaotic—Kate Stanford’s new single “O Holy Night” is exactly the reset button your holiday season needs. The Nashville-based Christian singer-songwriter has always had a gift for sincerity, but this rendition takes it to a whole new level.
“O Holy Night” has been one of Kate’s favorites since childhood, and you can hear that personal connection in every note. Produced by two-time Grammy nominee Cindy Morgan, the arrangement is beautifully simple: gentle piano, soft strings, and Kate’s warm, emotive vocals leading the way. It’s stripped down, classic, and refreshingly heartfelt—no over-the-top theatrics, just pure storytelling and reverence.
Kate’s intention for the track is clear: to remind listeners that even in a weary, broken world, peace and healing are still possible. And somehow, through her calm delivery and thoughtful interpretation, she really does bring that stillness to life.
As an independent artist who writes, records, and promotes everything herself, Kate continues to carve out her place in the Christian music scene with authenticity and grace. With over 65K followers cheering her on and past performances at festivals like SoulFest, SonRise, Lifest, and Kingdom Bound, she’s quickly becoming a voice to watch.
Her version of “O Holy Night” doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel—it simply lifts the song back to what it was meant to be: hopeful, intimate, and deeply comforting.
With ‘O Holy Night,’ Kate Stanford delivers a beautifully stripped-back and heartfelt rendition that brings peace, sincerity, and hope to the holiday season
