Sultry R&B holiday originals that trade tinsel for silk. JoJo’s acrobatic vocals turn festive nostalgia into a modern, late-night romance.
October 30, 2020 · Warner Records
December Baby is a rare holiday offering that feels less like a seasonal obligation and more like a natural extension of an artist's core identity. JoJo bypasses the usual saccharine traps of the genre, opting instead for a collection of cuffing season anthems that blend festive imagery with the sophisticated, bass-heavy R&B of the early 2020s. It is an album of textures: the crisp snap of trap-influenced percussion, the warmth of analog-style synths, and, most importantly, the sheer density of JoJo's vocal arrangements. This isn't background music for a loud family dinner; it is a soundtrack for the quiet, private moments that happen after the guests have left and the snow begins to pile up outside.

Winter saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
