An Early Xmas Card from Faith Evans

Alyssa Rashbaum

right The R&B crooner will release A Faithful Christmas on October 25. The album will feature Evans singing classic holiday songs like "Merry Christmas Baby," "White Christmas," "Santa Baby," "Christmas Song," Frank Sinatra's "Mistletoe and Holly," "O Come All Ye Faithful," and "This Christmas," written by Donny Hathaway and Nadine McKinnor.

Evans will also belt out some lesser-known Xmas tracks like "Soulful Christmas," which James Brown co-wrote and recorded in the 1960s, and "The Day that Love Began," which appeared on late '60s/early 70s holiday records by Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson & the Miracles.

Evans also co-wrote two new songs for the album called "Christmas Wish," which samples James Brown's version of "Merry Christmas Baby," and "Happy Holiday."
