Brandy seems to be fine with being on the naughty list this year. Her new holiday single, “Christmas Party for Two,” best expresses her desire to smooch her Santa beneath the mistletoe.
On the sultry guitar-laden track, the R&B icon makes her way downstairs not to check on whether Santa ate his cookies but to see if he likes her as a present. Their bodies intertwine in bliss while all else slumbers till dawn.
“Everyone is sleeping / It’s just you and me / And our fantasy / Let’s have a party / I wanna get naughty with Santa, please,” Brandy sings.
“Christmas Party for Two” is the official lead single from Brandy’s upcoming album, Christmas With Brandy, which releases Nov. 10 via Motown Records.
It marks her first-ever holiday collection and her first album for the legendary label. It’s also her first full-length album since 2020’s b7.
“For all my beautiful fans, my new album Christmas With Brandy comes out November 10. I feel so blessed to be able to create an album surrounding joy, family, love and quality divine time with the ones you love,” Brandy wrote in an announcement.
Christmas With Brandy will consist of 12 tracks, including “Christmas Party for Two,” along with five other original songs. Brandy’s daughter and emerging singer, Sy’Rai, will appear on “Christmas Gift,” which is among the five originals.
Brandy’s rendition of holiday classics such as “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and Stevie Wonder’s “Someday At Christmas” are also included on the album.
Christmas With Brandy will be released in multiple formats, including vinyl, CD and, of course, digital and streaming platforms.
The former format, pressed on standard red vinyl, is priced at $26.98, while CDs are priced at $13.98. For more information, visit her official online store.
