The seven-time Grammy winner and five-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year has made My Gift with Grammy-winning producer, mixer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Greg Wells, who produced and arranged it. The record combines traditional favorites and several originals.

Two of the new songs are written by Underwood with frequent collaborator Brett James (known for “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” “Something In The Water” and others), and David Garcia, the co-producer of her Cry Pretty album. There’s a special appearance by Underwood’s five-year-old son Isaiah Fisher on “Little Drummer Boy.” The album also features her first collaboration with R&B giant John Legend on the new track “Hallelujah,” written by Legend and Toby Gad (“All of Me”).

Wells is also the writer and/or producer of major songs over the past 15 years for Adele, Celine Dion, Keith Urban, P!nk and others, and co-produced the massively successful soundtrack of The Greatest Showman. Underwood’s album features an orchestra led by revered arranger, composer, and conductor David Campbell. You can see a trailer for it here:

An exclusive version of the My Gift CD and special white vinyl, with a bonus Christmas card from Underwood, will be available only at Target. Visitors to the My Gift pre-order store can also purchase merchandise bundles.
