Upcoming pop sensation Baby Queen, also known as Bella Latham, offered her contribution to the Christmas spirit, debuting her take on the iconic Christmas tune ‘Santa Baby’. This festive track follows the release of the artist debut EP ‘Medicine’ just mere weeks ago.
The track feels like a rework of the Christmas favourite, with Latham bringing a flirty charisma to the track. Backed by a light instrumental, the artist latches on to the suggestive lyrics, as she sings about her Christmas wishes with irresistible charm. The result is a track that feels like a new classic of the festive period.
“My dad used to have this Christmas mixtape that he would play every year when it hit December 1st, so Christmas music has always been a really big part of my life, but I think it’s hard to cover a Christmas song without feeling like it’s contrived.” The artist said in a press statement. “When we started talking about covering a Christmas song, there was only one that came into my mind like “this is a song Baby Queen would write,” and it’s Santa Baby. I love how cheeky and satirical the lyrics are. They feel really youthful and tongue-in-cheek which is how I’d describe a lot of the music I released this year, so it just made total sense to me.”
Her previous release ‘Medicine’ received rave reviews from critics, with many critics cementing Baby Queen as a rising pop sensation. “Pop stars aren’t really made, they arrive. Roll out the red carpet and clear the way – the era of Baby Queen is coming up fast,” said DORK magazine in a recent interview. It seems that Baby Queen has spoiled fans with this latest release atop her debut EP and, provided the perfect festive single for the Christmas period.
