Laura Kaczor is back with new music, and she's chosen Christmas for her first release in more than a decade. The singer-songwriter has released "Wrapped in Love", a new Christmas single through Upstream Records, marking her return to the recording studio after stepping away to focus on raising her two children.
Kaczor has been around Christian music for quite a while. Her debut album, Wake Me Up, arrived in 2006, and she's gone on to release four studio albums and land seven Billboard Christian Soft AC Top 25 singles. One of those, "Alive in You", spent 11 consecutive weeks in the Top 20. she also spent years performing at churches, conferences and youth events, as well as leading worship and speaking at gatherings around the country.
The new song came together earlier this year after Nashville publishing executive Randy Cox suggested the title Wrapped in Love. Kaczor took that idea and built a Christmas song around it, looking at the birth of Jesus and the sacrifice he would eventually make. It's about the gift of Christ, from the humble setting of the Bethlehem stable through to the Cross, and the love behind it all.
It's her first time writing a Christmas song, and she says she really enjoyed the experience. She hopes the track gives people a moment to think about the meaning of Christmas during what can be a pretty hectic time of year.
"Wrapped in Love" was produced by Nick Schwarz, whose previous work includes Jamie MacDonald and CAIN. It's available now through Upstream Records, which is distributed by New Day Christian Distributors.
There's more coming from Kaczor, too. Her fifth full-length studio album is planned for release in 2027, so this Christmas single looks to be the start of a much bigger return rather than a one-off release.
It's good to see her getting back into recording after such a long break, especially with a new album already on the way. For now, Wrapped in Love gives listeners their first taste of this next chapter, and it's a Christmas song with a fairly clear message at its center - remembering who the season is actually about.
