Ashley Cooke Puts A Bow On Some Holiday Classics On First-Ever Christmas EP ‘Wrapped’

/by

Ashley Cooke is offering fans some new music for Christmas with her first-ever holiday EP, wrapped, set for release Nov. 6 via Big Loud Records/Back Blocks Music. Kicking off the countdown to Christmas, Cooke has released the project’s title track.

“wrapped” is one of two new originals on the EP, and summons all the dreamy nostalgia of Christmas while adding a playful dose of holiday romance. Penned by Cooke, Lauren Hungate, Jimmy Robbins, Alysa Vanderheym, and Ben Williams, the love song imagines a snowed-in Christmas spent cozied up with someone who makes the whole world melt away, and instantly channels the pure joy of a magical Christmas night.

The EP also includes Cooke’s renditions of three classic holiday songs, “have yourself a merry little christmas,” “jingle bell rock,” and “silent night (with the cooke family).” “silent night” features vocals from several of Cooke’s family members, adding a poignant sense of togetherness to the time-honored Christmas carol.

Cooke is currently on her 31-date “baby blues world tour” in support of her self-titled sophomore album, and will head overseas early next year. Currently scheduled through Feb. 25 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, the tour now includes three newly-added dates: Elevation in Grand Rapids, MI (Feb. 11), Varsity Theater in Minneapolis (Feb. 12), and Bogart’s in Cincinnati (Feb. 13).
