Fantasia kicks off the festive season with the release her first ever holiday album ‘Christmas After Midnight.’

Executive produced by Ron Fair, the set is a specially curated collection of the American Idol‘s favorite Xmas classics.

Unwrapped this week, the LP features a spirited rendition of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah.’

Listen to Ms. Barrino soar after the jump…

Stunning!

After 13 years, Fantasia’s voice continues to enchant with its power and conviction.

Her gift is one that keeps on giving and we’re merrier because of it.
