Multi-talented performer and vocalist Judy Whitmore returns with a simply stunning present for music lovers everywhere. Her new single, “The Ghosts of Christmas Past,” written by award-winning Michael Orland, is a dazzling new addition to the modern holiday canon, blending memories with warmth and Whitmore’s signature sophistication.
“The Ghosts of Christmas Past” evokes a striking snow globe gradually springing to life. Soul heavyweight Judy belts out her soul-drenched vocal over emotive keys and joyous orchestration for a timeless, tear-soaked groove. There’s a hushed yearning in her delivery, the sort of seasonal reverie that evokes memories of love, loneliness, and Decembers past. Still, amid it all, there’s a light a way in which only Judy can provide.
A jet pilot, psychotherapist, and theater producer, actor Whitmore is also a best-selling author and, now, as soon as ever, delivers proof that no matter what his expression, it’s art for art’s sake. And her voice is golden and warm, it feels like a thousand Christmas stories lived, and she is sharing them all here with such grace.
With “The Ghosts of Christmas Past,” Judy Whitmore and Michael Orland have not just written a Christmas song, they’ve written the new holiday standard. A rich, emotional joy ride that stays with you well beyond the last note. Be it played next to a crackling fire or while gliding among twinkling lights, it’s the perfect companion for contemplation, solace, and a bit of magic.
