We all love ‘Santa Baby’, Eartha Kitt’s seductive take on the classic festive anthem. With its iconic hook line, ‘Hurry Down The Chimney Tonight,’ and playful feel, the song has the power to instantly transport you to December’s winter magic. Now, the beloved number is taking on a new dimension with singer-songwriter SHAB’s glamorous new interpretation, releasing November 15th.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Promising to offer a sparkling fusion of holiday nostalgia and infectious modern pop, this sophisticated rendition offers a signature danceable twist, setting her apart from previous portrayals by artists like Kylie Minogue and Taylor Swift. Still, that cosy festive feeling is bound to linger, wrapping you in a warm Christmas embrace as the countdown begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHAB has been slowly teasing her upcoming sophomore album \u2018One Suitcase\u2019, a heartfelt reflection of her incredible journey from her roots in Iran to crafting a life and music career in the United States. Exploring love, self-discovery and resilience, recent releases \u2018Swerve\u2019 and \u2018Afterglow\u2019 offered alluring glimpses of what is to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside her musical pursuits, SHAB recently became an ambassador for the UK-based refugee charity Choose Love, a role that deeply resonates with her own journey and her advocacy for women’s rights in Iran. A rising star to watch in 2025, she is making an impact that extends far beyond her music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t miss out on SHAB’s ‘Santa Baby’ – your new favourite song to kick off the holidays in style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
