H.E.R. (born Gabriella Wilson) may only be 25-years-old, but the singer-actress is already one of the most-awarded musicians of her generation.

A five-time GRAMMY winner, the R&B diva’s trophy case is also lined with MTV VMAs, MTV EMAs, BET Awards, Soul Train Awards, and, most famously, a collected Best Song OSCAR for the ‘Judas & the Black Messiah’ tune ‘Fight For You’ (accepted at the 2021 Academy Awards).

Yuletide classic tune, ‘This Christmas,’ may have seen some of music’s biggest stars deliver unforgettable takes over the years, but none seem to quite measure up to the original by the legendary Donny Hathaway.

Directed by Phil Beaudreau, the clip showcases how Lalah’s version manages to keep the essence of her dad’s version while shining independently thanks to its more relaxed tempo.
