Lady A's Hillary Scott has released a new Christmas song, ‘Hard to Wait for Christmas', featuring her 11-year-old daughter Eisele Kaye.
The song is written by Scott, her husband Chris Tyrrell and Eisele Kaye. The idea for the song was sparked by a family conversation about an advent calendar, and how – even for grownups – it’s hard to wait for Christmas.
Produced by Scott, Tyrrell and Ryan Gore, the song's harmony of brassy trombones and hint of jingle bells ignites the Christmas cheer for all ages and reminisces on the many things that make the holiday season so special.
“We hope this song makes families smile and encourages them to laugh and have fun together as they wait patiently (or not!) for Christmas,” shares Scott. “My favorite line from the song is about how it feels better to give than to receive, and if we could say anything about the Christmas season, it is that we hope you have a giving heart. That’s what really makes Christmas special – the gift of your time to the people you love, and the gift of your generosity to those in need.”
The music video for the song, which you can see above, features countless heartwarming family moments and footage from the studio recording of the song. It also features the family's twin sisters Emory and Betsy, perfectly captures the season's wonder and the palpable love that fills the air during the holiday season.
Scott is best-known as one third of Lady A, who have scored 11 number 1 hits and won countless awards.
