October 15th may mark the release of Mary J.Blige‘s new Christmas album, ‘A Mary Christmas’, but that hasn’t stopped the ‘Be Without You’ belle from releasing one of its numbers a little early to date.

A cover of Donny Hathaway‘s classic ‘This Christmas‘, some may agree that Blige’s vocal lacks the feeling of joy and euphoria the cut’s lyrics should have forced out of her, but will still make for an enjoyable listen for any hoping to get in the Holiday spirit well before December.

Let’s be honest, supporting Contemporary R&B hasn’t been easy in the last few years.

Left to fend for itself in a world without substantial radio backing, thinly spread budgets and widespread talk of it being ‘dead’, the genre has been dealt more than its fair share of commercial blows recently, much to the dismay of those who hold it most dear.

However, it seems there is light at the end of the tunnel today. A light, made a whole lot brighter by the force that is….Ciara.

Good music after the jump…
