The 15-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter has unveiled Santa Baby, her first-ever holiday album. The 11-track collection, which will be released on November 4, will include four Alicia Keys original songs as well as Keys’ “soulful, raw, new reinterpretation” of seven Christmas classics. “December Back 2 June,” the lead song, will be released on October 28.

While Alicia was on her fully booked European tour, the album was recorded during the summer.
“This song is amazing! It feels fantastic!” exclaimed Keys. “I chose each song based on my personal favorites, and I created brand-new songs based on actual Christmas emotions and tales. The holidays are such a lovely time to take things easy, spend time with your loved ones, and find purpose. Santa Baby will certainly make the ideal holiday soundtrack. I eagerly anticipate your adoration of it.

Santa Baby, the first release on Keys’ independent company, Alicia Keys Records, will be available exclusively on Apple Music in spatial audio. In the upcoming weeks, she will perform on a number of national TV shows to promote the record.
Even though this is Alicia’s debut Christmas album, she has already made holiday cheer with her 2019 covers of “The Christmas Song” and “Little Drummer Girl” from 1996.
After 20 years, Keys released her double album Keys in December 2021, marking the end of her career with RCA Records.
