[PAR] [TLE] Winter Dreams (Brandon's Song) [SEP] "Winter Dreams (Brandon's Song)" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Clarkson, from her sixth studio album, "Wrapped in Red" (2013).  Produced by Greg Kurstin, Clarkson co-wrote the song with Ashley Arrison and Aben Eubanks for her husband (then-fiancé) Brandon Blackstock, stepson of American recording artist Reba McEntire.  A slow-tempo Christmas neo-jazz pop song, "Winter Dreams" features a 50-piece chamber orchestra conducted and arranged by film composer Joseph Trapanese.  Its lyrical theme mainly depicts love and escapism during the holidays, in which Clarkson sings about spending her first holiday with Blackstock, whom the song is also dedicated.  Unlike the deep lyrical themes of "Every Christmas", in which she refers to her life before meeting Blackstock, Clarkson had described "Winter Dreams" with a lighter fare, referring to it as her holiday life after meeting him. [PAR] [TLE] Kelly Clarkson [SEP] Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, actress and author.  She rose to fame in 2002 after winning the inaugural season of the television series "American Idol", which earned her a record deal with RCA Records.  Clarkson's debut single, "Before Your Love/A Moment Like This", topped the US "Billboard" Hot 100 chart and became the best-selling single of 2002 in the nation.  It was followed by the release of her debut studio album, "Thankful" (2003), which debuted at number one on the "Billboard" 200 chart.  Trying to reinvent her image, Clarkson decided to part ways with "American Idol" management and developed a more pop rock sound for her second album, "Breakaway" (2004).  It sold over 12 million copies worldwide and earned Clarkson two Grammy Awards.  She took further creative control for her third album, "My December" (2007), by becoming the executive producer and co-writing the entire album.  However, it caused a feud with her label, that was dissatisfied with her darker, less commercial rock music and reluctantly promoted the album.
