Sophie Simmons Wants ‘Courage for Christmas’ in New ‘Nontraditional’ Holiday Song (Exclusive)

The 26-year-old singer skyrocketed to fame after appearing on Gene Simmons Family Jewels with her famous parents, KISS frontman Gene Simmons and model/actress Shannon Tweed. Sophie has had a passion for songwriting since she was a kid, and has never lost sight of where she came from or where she’s going. Though the talented artist could easily rely on her family’s name to help her rise to the top, Sophie has always believed in making it happen on her own… and this year, that’s exactly what she’s done.

Following the release of singles like “Black Mirror,” “Paper Cut” and “If I Could,” Sophie is exclusively premiering her new holiday song, “Courage for Christmas,” with ET. She wants fans to know, however, that this isn’t your “traditional Christmas song.”

With lyrics like “I want courage for Christmas, to tell you how I really feel / If only you’d notice, then you would know love is real,” she says the powerful indie-pop ballad is a “reflection” of the lonelier thoughts people can often encounter during the holidays.
