Debbie Gibson is thrilled to announce the release of her first ever holiday album, ‘Winterlicious,’ on October 21, 2022. Ranging from a mix of sparkling originals and beautiful reimagined covers, Gibson has enlisted her dream team of Sean Thomas (‘The Body Remembers’/Hallmark), Fred Coury (Cinderella/Emmy award winning composer/producer), Sylvia MacCalla (Selena Gomez), Joey Melotti (Barry Manilow), Joey Finger (Donny & Marie) and musicians Lydia Ansel (electric violin) and indie artist BONZIE (accordion), to create an album that is sure to become a holiday classic. Rolling Stone stated, “‘Winterlicious’ caps an amazing year for Gibson.”
This spirited and soulful album, Gibson’s first in this genre in 36 years, features a magical collaboration with her pop soulmate Joey McIntyre, who co-wrote the new holiday anthem “Heartbreak Holiday” for those missing that special someone during the holidays. Gibson’s Daddy Joe joins her on a stunning new rendition of “White Christmas” and her infectious, up-tempo, original song “Christmas Star,” which came out in 2021, is also included.
Last year, Debbie Gibson released her long-awaited 10th studio pop album ‘The Body Remembers’- her first in 20 years – marking a new chapter for Gibson on her own label Stargirl Records. It is filled with a mix of modern pop hooks and upbeat club bangers along with melodic newstalgic tracks that pay homage to her earlier music.‘The Body Remembers’ represents all things Debbie: empowerment, living your best life, and staying #EternallyElectric. Rob Sheffield from Rolling Stone stated that “Gibson paved the way for today’s young female chart-toppers, from Billie Eilish to Olivia Rodrigo.”
