(October 25, 2024) The Velvet Teddy Bear, Mr. Ruben Studdard, will be issuing his first Christmas album, My Favorite Holiday EP, on Friday, November 1st. The project will be released under Ruben Studdard’s new partnership with Origins|Hitmaker Music Group.
And today Studdard has released the first single from the project, the tasty title track. The song is a nice blend of big holiday arrangements and 90s R&B, with Studdard in great voice.
He says about the cut, “The song is pretty self explanatory, Christmas has forever and will always be my favorite holiday. We sat out to describe the feeling and the love that the Holiday season invokes. I have always wanted to do a Christmas project and for some reason, it was always put on the back burner. 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.”
“My Favorite Holiday” is a nice addition to this year’s holiday playlist and a welcome return for one of the more endearing soul artists. Check out “My Favorite Holiday” below.
