Alicia Keys releases debut Christmas single

“December Back 2 June” is available now

Alicia Keys has released her first-ever holiday single “December Back 2 June.” The original Christmas song is the debut release on Keys’ eponymous new label Alicia Keys Records and is available now via all DSPs.

“December Back 2 June” arrives in advance of Keys’ highly-anticipated first holiday album Santa Baby which will be released on on CD and digitally on November 4th. The 11-track album will feature Keys’ soulful, raw, fresh reimagining of seven beloved holiday classics as well as four original songs. Santa Baby was recorded during the artist’s highly-acclaimed, sold out European tour.

Target will offer an exclusive CD and holiday card bundle.

“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.
