‘Treat Me’ hitmaker Chloe Bailey is treating music lovers to festive tunes to get them in the Christmas spirit.

In what’s become an annually anticipated offering, Amazon Music has unwrapped its 2023 slate of original holiday music – new songs as well as unique takes on seasonal classics. Having previously called on the likes of Taylor Swift, Camila Cabello, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Lizzo, Giveon, and other big names to assist, Chloe is in this year’s class.

As if spinning Darlene Love‘s ‘Winter Wonderland’ wasn’t enough to get her fans excited, she’s also rendered a reimagined version of Otis Redding’s yuletide classic, ‘Merry Christmas Baby.’

The R&B diva’s rendition of the latter holiday favorite will also appear in the Prime Video comedy. ‘Candy Cane Lane,’ starring Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross.

And while his comedies, dramas, and everything in between have left some audiences clamoring for more, that level of exposure hasn’t come without its fair share of criticism – a topic the media mogul tackles in earnest in the forthcoming Prime Video documentary ‘Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story.’

Often the brunt of scrutiny for work some argue doesn’t always portray African Americans in the best light, Tyler refutes the notion in the gripping tell-all film and reiterated his stance during a recent interview with ‘CBS Mornings.’
