It’s time to hang up those stockings - SHAB is back and ready to lift your holiday spirits with her radiant rendition of "Santa Baby." Originally performed by Eartha Kitt and covered by artists like Michael Bublé, Madonna, RuPaul, and Ariana Grande, SHAB brings her own touch of sophisticated glamour to this charming Christmas classic.
Becoming a hot name in the industry with her dance-worthy ‘world pop’, SHAB has recently begun to build up anticipation for her forthcoming album ‘One Suitcase’ with a collection of alluring tracks - ‘Afterglow’ and ‘Swerve.’ SHAB seamlessly fuses her smoky vocal delivery and Persian influence into ‘Santa Baby,’ making the classic as infectious as ever before.
SHAB’s rendition preserves the cosy magic of the holidays, blending the original song’s playful charm with a fresh, modern twist. This is brought to life in a glittering music video that captures the romantic essence of ‘Santa Baby’. Seated beside a roaring fireplace and sparkling decorations, SHAB serenades Santa Claus himself, who accompanies her on a grand piano.
The video crafts SHAB's personal winter wonderland, blending festive outfits and slow, seductive dance with snow-dusted scenes. Her signature sultry voice flows over an irresistible beat, enhanced by sweet synths and chiming bells, captivating viewers with the iconic line, "So hurry down the chimney tonight." The result is truly cinematic, positioning SHAB's ‘Santa Baby’ as a standout contender among 2024’s new Christmas covers.
Though December is yet to begin, SHAB’s ‘Santa Baby’ has us ready to dive into holiday classics and kick off the season's celebrations. Watch out Mariah - there’s a new festive diva in town.
