Castella Releases “Silent Night / Oh Holy Night (Live)” Featuring Hartmanni

LONG BEACH, CA — Castella Music announces the release of Silent Night / Oh Holy Night (Live), the latest holiday offering from rising soul/award winning vocalist Castella. The track marks a pivotal moment for the artist as her first live recording, captured in one continuous performance with no overdubs — showcasing Castella’s raw vocal power and intimate connection to the material.

The performance was recorded during the inaugural Castella & Friends Christmas Show, where Castella delivered a stripped-down and emotionally charged medley of two classic holiday standards. Featuring acclaimed guitarist Hartmanni (David Hartman), the recording blends gospel roots with contemporary soul to create a timeless, resonant moment.

From Castella

“The most beautiful moment of the show was a vulnerable one—a song from my childhood. It was gospel and a cappella, exactly how it was meant to be. Blending ‘Silent Night’ and ‘Oh Holy Night,’ we captured something authentic, perfectly imperfect, and deeply spiritual. I wanted to share that moment with everyone.”
