First-ever holiday album due Nov 4th
Alicia Keys has announced Santa Baby, her first-ever holiday album which will be released on November 4th exclusively on Apple Music in spatial audio.
The 11-track album will feature Keys’ soulful, raw, fresh reimagining of seven beloved holiday classics as well as four original songs written by Keys. The album was recorded this summer while Keys was on her sold out European tour. The album’s first single “December Back 2 June” will be released October 28th.
“I love this music! It feels so good!” says Keys. “I picked each song based on my all-time favorites and I wrote the new ones based on real holiday emotions and stories. The holidays are such a beautiful time to slow down, be with the ones you love and make meaning! Santa Baby is definitely going to be the perfect holiday soundtrack. I can’t wait for you to fall in love with it.”
Keys will be performing live music from Santa Baby on national TV in the coming weeks, to be announced.
Santa Baby arrives just in time for the holiday season on the heels of Keys’ sold out North American leg of her wildly successful Alicia + Keys World Tour, which earned rave reviews. The trek saw Keys play 33 shows across the US and Canada, featured a long list of the artist’s musical collaborators who made guest appearances across the tour. Those guests included Jill Scott, Brandi Carlile, Miguel, Khalid, Lucky Daye, Brent Faiyez and H.E.R., among others.
