Tamela Mann Releases First-ever Christmas Single, ‘What Christmas Really Means’ From Her New Movie, Soul Santa
Mann Also Releases New Single and Live-Performance Music Video, ‘He Did It For Me,’ From Her Album, Overcomer
Dallas, TX. — Award-winning artist, accomplished actress, songwriter, producer, and businesswoman, Tamela Mannis dropping her first-ever Christmas single, “What Christmas Really Means,” on Friday, November 26. The single is from her new movie, Soul Santa, which also stars Tamela’s husband, actor/comedian David Mann, and is now playing on the BET Network and BET+.
Tamela Mann makes millions laugh on the small and big screen while enjoying a unique personal double blessing. The high spirited multi-talented singer and actress, who plays an executive for a struggling shopping mall where Santa Claus is the disguise of a businessman in trouble with mob’s money — was also able to work on set every day with David Mann.
Even as she’s enthralled audiences with her comedic acting over the years, Tamela has never strayed far from her first love of singing. When given the opportunity to write and perform the main Christmas song for this film, she was honored to make the contribution of “What Christmas Really Means.”
“I’m so excited to share my first Christmas single. This is a very special season for me,” says Tamela. “For many it’s the most wonderful time of the year, while for others it can be a challenging time. My hope is that this song encourages people to reach out to friends and family and enjoy being together this year.”
Tamela has always created art that encourages people and draws them closer to the Lord. Her hit-laden music career includes such memorable songs as “Change Me,” “God Provides” and the unforgettable, Platinum-selling classic, “Take Me to the King.” Tamela has earned numerous accolades. In addition to scoring a Grammy®, she is also a BET Award® winner, Billboard® Music Award Winner, Gospel Music Stellar® Award Winner and multiple NAACP® Image Award and GMA Dove® Award recipient.
Tamela is also releasing her third single and companion live-performance music video for “He Did It For Me,” from her latest album, Overcomer. The track is one of the most meaningful on the project says Tamela. “God is the source and my go-to when I’m lost,” she says. “I can’t do anything without Him, and I never want to try to. It talks about how the Lord is helping me reach my goals. There were people asking, ‘How is she able to do all of this?’ And that led to the lyrics for ‘He Did It For Me.’”
