#NewMusic: Ruben Studdard to Celebrate the Season with ‘My Favorite Holiday’ EP, Releases New Single

Ruben Studdard is set to spread holiday cheer with his first-ever Christmas project, “My Favorite Holiday.”

This five-song EP will be released on Nov. 1, led by the title track, “My Favorite Holiday,” which will resonate with fans during the upcoming holiday season.

The lead single, “My Favorite Holiday,” showcases Studdard’s songwriting skills, as it was co-written by him, Romel Gibson, and John Jackson, who also produced the track.

“I have always wanted to do a Christmas project and for some reason, it was always put on the back burner,” Studdard said. “Then about two years ago, my friend, Producer and M/D John Jackson and I decided to start on the music and allow for it to land wherever, when we finished. So, two years of off and on, and we now have this EP.”

Studdard shared the exciting news during an appearance on The Terrell Show, where he gave fans a sneak peek into the project.

“My Favorite Holiday” is available now with the EP releasing shortly on Nov. 1 through a new partnership between Studdard and Origins|Hitmaker Music Group.

My Favorite Holiday EP Tracklist:

  1. MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY
  2. ONE LITTLE CHRISTMAS TREE
  3. SILENT NIGHT
  4. AT CHRISTMAS TIME
  5. AWAY IN A MANGER

“The process of recording the project was fun, but also very nostalgic,” Studdard said. “I grew up singing a lot of these tunes and it always makes me feel happy to remember holiday memories of old.”
