Toronto, ON – December 4, 2020 – With the snow starting to come down and the holiday season in full swing, JUNO Award-winning artist, Laila Biali, offers a stirring, gospel-infused rendition of the timeless classic carol, Silent Night. The song comes alongside a beautiful live performance video, bringing the spirit of Biali’s special arrangement to life. Watch the video here.

Biali grew up singing Silent Night in harmony with her sisters at candlelit Christmas Eve Services, year after year, and you can truly feel the emotion and nostalgia in her powerful delivery of the song.

“I think most of us agree that this Christmas will be different from any other,” reflects Biali. "My wish is that Silent Night will bring peace and hope to those who are away from loved ones, and that the spirit of the holiday season, and the spirit of this song, will shine a little light in the dark.”

Listen to Biali’s Silent Night, and join her in celebrating the holidays this year with warmth and timeless music!
