Landrum’s latest release for Reviver is the Christmas single, “Light A Candle.”

“Samantha brings a unique talent to our brand,” says Reviver Records President and CEO David Ross. “The entire team is excited about bringing her music to the forefront of the music industry and to lead the Samantha Landrum charge at radio.
