Four-time GRAMMY® Award winner Yolanda Adams, the undisputed Queen of Contemporary Gospel, ushers in the holiday season with power, praise, and timeless musical brilliance. Her newly re-released holiday single, “Hero Is Born,” emerges as one of the most spiritually uplifting Christmas tracks of the year—an anthem wrapped in warmth, gratitude, and celestial vocals that only Adams can deliver.
The celebratory release lands during a monumental moment in her career. Adams’s acclaimed 2024 album, Sunny Days, has earned a coveted nomination for ‘Best Gospel Album’ at the 68th GRAMMY® Awards, further solidifying her status as one of gospel’s most enduring icons.
A HOLIDAY ANTHEM REBORN
Originally featured on Sunny Days, “Hero Is Born” arrives with renewed energy and perfect timing. The song captures the essence of Christmas through heartfelt verses, soaring production, and Adams’s legendary vocal power. Every note radiates hope and reverence, reminding listeners of the true meaning of the season:
“My Hero is born, my Hero is born
Precious gift born on Christmas Day
Sent as a gift to my faith
You are my saving grace.”
It’s a spiritual celebration wrapped in melody—a song destined to become a holiday staple for generations.
A STAR ASCENDING TO BROADWAY
As her single shines across streaming platforms, Adams steps into one of the most exciting new chapters of her career: her Broadway debut. Beginning November 21, she joins the cast of Hell’s Kitchen, Alicia Keys’s theatrical production inspired by her life and music. Adams will share the role of Ms. Liza with Tony Award–winner Kecia Lewis, taking over the role full-time on December 16.
For Adams, the opportunity is deeply personal and profoundly meaningful.
“Performing on Broadway has always been a dream of mine,” she told PEOPLE. “This show feels like home!”
The combination of new music and a Broadway residency marks a rare and powerful moment of reinvention for one of gospel’s most influential voices.
THE POWER OF SUNNY DAYS
Sunny Days, Adams’s 14th studio album, represents a triumphant return after a 13-year hiatus. Her last project, Becoming, dropped in 2011—making Sunny Days a long-awaited masterpiece for fans worldwide.
She describes the experience as transformational:
“This journey is just like the journey of life… You have your stops, your starts, your up days, your down days… your days of ‘Okay, what are we really doing?’”
The album blends gospel roots with modern production, emotional honesty, and spiritual healing—qualities that have placed Adams at the center of gospel music for over three decades.
