Music, Christmas | featured news

Just call CeeLo Green music's newest Santa Claus. The 38-year-old singer-rapper is working on a Christmas album that he promises is "the real deal." Green said in a recent interview that the album, "CeeLo's Magic Moment," is a "soulful take on a host of Christmas classics."

It's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas! The holiday season has started early this year with the release of Justin Bieber's new holiday single, "Mistletoe," which premiered this morning on Ryan Seacrest's radio show and is now available for download on iTunes. You can also check out the video sneak peak from the studio that he posted yesterday on Twitter.

Amid the deluge of holiday music that comes in November and December, Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas II You and Susan Boyle’s The Gift are poised to make all those other seasonal crooners sound like off-key carolers.

Sixteen years on from her first Christmas songs release, Mariah Carey is prepping a sequel: "Merry Christmas II You" will be out on Nov. 2, according to Rap-Up.
