Music Minute - Allie Colleen and Jay Allen: O Holy Night

  Country artists Allie Colleen and Jay Allen have joined forces to deliver a haunting and captivating rendition of the Christmas classic, "O Holy Night." The eagerly awaited holiday track promises to be a highlight of this year's holiday music offerings. The new track is now available on all digital music platforms here.


“O Holy Night” is a holiday staple, and paired with the duo’s emotional vocals makes for a soul-stirring experience that is perfect for the upcoming season. Produced by Micah Wilshire, the artists are excited to showcase a more dramatic style for the release of the project.

Allie Colleen, known for her iconic voice and heartfelt songwriting, expressed her excitement about this collaboration sharing, “Honestly, I've never really crossed my mind to put out a Christmas song before because I just wasn't sure how well my sound would represent a Christmas song, but when Jay Allen was kind enough to ask me to record a Christmas song with the intent of showcasing our haunting side, I was very excited. I could not be more proud of how this project turned out, nonetheless how it represents our individual sounds.”

Jay Allen added his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "I became a fan of Allie a few months back when our agent introduced me to her music. Once I heard her voice and saw that she was covered in tattoos, I knew we had to do something together. My label suggested a holiday cover, and we landed on this haunting version of ‘O Holy Night.’ I hope it resonates with everyone, but I couldn’t be more proud of this project and the friendship I’ve gained with Allie."

“O’ Holy Night” was mixed and mastered by Micah Wilshire, who also played all the instruments on the project.
