Grammy Award-winning, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated multi-instrumentalist musician, songwriter and producer, Raphael Saadiq, dropped his new holiday single, “Miracle” featuring UK vocalist Kelli-Leigh, exclusively on Amazon Music. The original song from the beloved musician known for his deep musicality, contemporary creative vision, and encyclopedic knowledge of pop/R&B music, is featured in the new holiday film Candy Cane Lane.

“The song ‘Miracle’ is about, of course, a miracle. Once you see the film, you see all these amazing things happening – a little bit of beautiful magic between a family and a mother and father,” said Saadiq. “’Miracle’ just comes on and tells that whole story of how a family works.” As audiences listen to the words, he hopes they reflect on all they’ve seen over the course of the family’s Christmas journey.
