Summer Walker Covers “Santa Baby” Just In Time For Christmas

by

With less than a week until Christmas has come and gone for another year, there’s little time for you to finish all the festive holiday prep that comes with December. Luckily, R&B artists in particular have been generously sharing new songs for your listening pleasure while you shop, bake, and decorate away.

Chris Brown, Ari Lennox, and Sevyn Streeter are among those who have given us covers and originals so far. Now, it’s Summer Walker’s turn to shine with her take on “Santa Baby.”

The song first made its debut earlier this month on LVRN’s Home For The Holidays 2 compilation album. Baby Tate, Alex Vaughn, dvsn, Eli Derby, and DRAM are among other artists who contributed.

Additionally, we hear Walker’s voice once more on the project. She and 6LACK came together to create a “Ghetto Christmas” song. In the time since arriving, it’s earned over 1.5M streams on Spotify alone.

On Monday (December 19), the Atlanta native and her label shared the “Santa Baby” music video. In it, the Still Over It songstress sits in a cozy room with lit trees and fake snow surrounding her.

“Santa baby, just slip a Sable under the tree for me / Been an awful good girl / Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight,” Walker’s voice rings out on the first verse.

While the “No Love” artist’s fans are certainly revelling in the Christmas cheer she’s brought them, she has some celebrating of her own to do. According to recent reports, the 26-year-old is due to give birth to twins any day now.

Quotable Lyrics:

Think of all the fun I’ve missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven’t kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you’ll check off my Christmas list

Get In The Holiday Spirit With Sevyn Streeter’s Cover Of “The Christmas Song”

by

We’re nearly halfway through December, which means Christmas is officially less than two weeks away. While you’re busy preparing for the holidays by setting up your tree, baking cookies, shopping and wrapping presents, your favourite artists have been covering some festive classics for you to stream.

The latest starlet to help spread the holiday cheer is none other than Sevyn Streeter. For her part, she’s offering up a beautiful rendition of “The Christmas Song,” complete with production from Eric Hudson.

In the accompanying music video, the 36-year-old sings in front of a grand piano. While Lonny Berreal plays, she shines in a sultry white dress.

“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire / Jack Frost nipping at your nose,” her voice rings out over the first few bars. “Yuletide carols being sung by a choir / And folks dressed up like Eskimos.”

As Vibe notes, this is the first we’ve heard from Streeter since she previously shared “23” back in September. Prior to that, she worked with DIXSON on “CHERRY SORBET.”

Elsewhere this year, the Florida native gave us the deluxe cut of her Drunk Wordz Sober Thoughtz album. Throughout the 20-song tracklist, she connects with artists like Lavi$h, Lucky Daye, Jeremih, and BIA.

Some of the project’s most successful titles include “Guilty” with Chris Brown and A$AP Ferg, as well as “End Up.”

Even after a busy year, rumour has it that the “It Won’t Stop” hitmaker is preparing a new album for arrival in 2023.

Quotable Lyrics:

And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
