R&B icon Brandy releases her first ever Holiday album Christmas with Brandy. The 11-track project boasts soulful interpretations of seasonal classics like “Deck the Halls” and “Jingle Bells” as well as a selection of holiday originals including the steamy new single “Christmas Party for Two” and “Christmas Gift,” which finds Brandy sharing the mic with her daughter Sy’Rai. As Vibe states “Christmas With Brandy will be a gift for the masses this holiday season.”
Kicking off with the sassy “Feels Different,” a moody new track showcases the R&B legend’s effortless swagger, it’s immediately clear that Brandy is doing Christmas differently. Highlights include a cover of the beloved track “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” which exudes infectious holiday charm, and “Christmas Party for Two,” which perfectly illustrates the artist’s ability to inject a little soul into the holidays.
The album’s release is just the beginning of an unforgettable holiday season for Brandy, who will be performing at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to help ring in the season, and Good Morning America on December 1. She also stars in the upcoming Netflix original film Best. Christmas. Ever! alongside Heather Graham, which arrives November 16.
Throughout her career, Brandy has always done things her own way. So it’s no surprise that her Christmas album would break the mold, sprinkling a little R&B magic on classic carols and new material.
