Carrie Underwood and John Legend are getting into the holiday spirit with the music video for their new duet “Hallelujah.”
In the Randee St. Nicholas-directed clip, which premiered through Facebook on Thursday (Nov. 19), the country singer and R&B crooner join forces in a dimly lit, snow-filled room where they beautifully deliver the powerful track.
“This song and its message is much needed right now and I’m honored to have it on my Christmas album, My Gift,” Underwood said on Instagram earlier in the week. “I hope you like it.”
“Hallelujah” appears on Underwood’s latest album, My Gift, which marks her first full-length holiday project. The set was produced by Greg Wells and includes eight traditional and three original songs.
Released on Sept. 25, My Gift recently earned Underwood her eighth total and consecutive No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.
“It has been in my heart to do a Christmas album for years, and we started planning this last year when we finished the Cry Pretty Tour 360,” Underwood tells Billboard. “Who would have known what would happen in the world since then, and how much we would all be ready for the hope and joy that Christmas music embodies this year more than ever.”
Legend will also appear on Underwood’s upcoming music special My Gift: A Christmas Special From Carrie Underwood, which will be available for streaming through HBO Max on Dec. 3.
