Wrapped in Red

Wrapped in Red is the sixth studio album/first christmas album of Kelly Clarkson, released on October 25, 2013, by RCA Records, and was inspired by the Christmas albums of Mariah Carey, Reba McEntire, and Phil Spector.

Kelly Clarkson had desired for years to record a Christmas album as a way to defy genre limitations and media labels. She worked with producer Greg Kurstin to produce the entire album, creating a record with a variety of genres such as pop, jazz, country and soul, marking a departure from the pop rock sound established from Clarkson’s previous studio albums.

Wrapped in Red debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at number 3 and topped the Billboard Top Holiday Albums chart with 70,000 copies sold in its first week of release.
