The multi-talented Willa Ford celebrates the holiday season with a beautiful new rendition of the timeless classic “O Holy Night.” This release highlights Ford’s rich vocal warmth and emotional depth through lush orchestration and modern cinematic flair. The Northern California-based artist specifically chose to emphasize the message of loving one another within the lyrics as a centerpiece for her heartfelt interpretation. This festive track arrived on the heels of her long-awaited return to the musical spotlight with the single “Burn Burn,” which marked her first new music in over two decades. Fans can enjoy the original version of that dance-ready anthem alongside infectious remixes by collaborators Jayem and Triple XL.
Willa Ford found her way back to the studio after informal songwriting sessions in 2023 rekindled her musical passion. The classically trained opera singer famously broke out in the early 2000s with her debut album ‘Willa Was Here’ and the Top 40 hit “I Wanna Be Bad” which she co-wrote. Throughout her diverse career, she has excelled in acting, producing, and even founding a successful interior design business fueled by her signature style. This current creative era allows her to process deep personal experiences through music with a fierce sense of purpose and renewed artistic vision. Listeners have much to look forward to as she prepares even more new music for the coming year.
