Jennifer Saran Soulful Christmas

Christmas Lover featuring The Temptations

Jennifer Saran is a North American alt-pop/adult contemporary artist, songwriter, and vocalist based in Hong Kong. Over the past several years this versatile artist has put out several musical releases with notable collaborators such as Narada Michael Walden, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and Carlos Santana, and her original songs and conscious messages have resonated with fans and media alike. During the holiday season of 2016, she released a double-single including the tracks 'Merry Christmas To You" and 'Soulful Christmas." Jennifer Saran continues her tradition of holiday themed releases with the 2017 album Soulful Christmas, which launches the new single 'Christmas Lover" featuring The Temptations. Full of great original songs along with some wonderful holiday covers, Soulful Christmas will be available in stores and online in time for the holiday season, releasing worldwide on November 24, 2017.

Soulful Christmas was recorded at Walden's legendary Tarpan Studios, in San Rafael, CA except for the 'Christmas Lover" single, which was recorded at Capital Studios in Los Angeles, including vocal sessions with Dr. Otis Williams and The Temptations. This new holiday single will hit the airwaves in late November, just in time for the 2017 winter holidays.

Jennifer Saran's holiday-themed debut album Merry Christmas, You Are Loved was released in 2015 to many great reviews and widespread radio exposure. Shortly thereafter in 2016 she released her follow-up album Walk With Me, both of which were produced and co-written by the legendary Grammy and Emmy-winning Narada Michael Walden (Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, Sting, George Michael) and released through his Tarpan Records label.

In the summer of 2016, Jennifer Saran teamed up with the South African Grammy-winning male choral group Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Narada Michael Walden to create the single 'Wake Up." Jennifer traveled to South Africa to record with Ladysmith and to film scenes for the song's music video. Also, making a special guest appearance on the track is multiple Grammy-winning legend Carlos Santana. This stunning collaboration was a heartfelt appeal to recognize and address worldwide inequality and impoverishment, a cause incredibly important to each of the amazing artists involved, and proceeds benefit the Archbishop Desmond Tutu Peace Foundation. The 'Wake Up" single and music video were released on November 11, 2016, and were featured on Saran's third album, also titled Wake Up, produced and co-written by Narada Michael Walden and released in the early Summer of 2017.

Jennifer Saran's music has had reviews pouring in from across the globe, and she has done interviews on both syndicated national radio stations in the US and on BBC 2 in the UK. The 'Wake Up" single had wide reaching worldwide exposure and was reviewed and mentioned in a variety of magazines and websites including Songwriting Magazine, Women Talking, and an in-depth interview on BBC Radio 2's Good Morning Sunday hosted by Clare Balding. The 'Wake Up" music video aired on over 100 broadcast video outlets across the US, including rotation on California Music Channel, PC Music Pool and The Sound Chamber, reaching millions of viewers. On social media, the video has had over 100,000 views across Facebook and YouTube.

Jennifer Saran is as prolific as she is profound, and she is constantly working on new music. There is already a new full-length Jazz-themed album in the works, produced by Narada Michael Walden and scheduled for release in the Spring of 2018. Jennifer is the mother of 3 children, Paul, Phillip, and Anjali. She continues to write new songs and travels the world, trying to uplift, engage, educate and empower our future generations.
