When I spoke with the directors, because I shot with them before, they had heard the song when we were going back and forth on ideas. “And just gave me that vintage, retro kind of feel. “Everything that I do, it just has the sultry vibe behind it,” said Claudio. In the music video, Claudio steps into the character of a classy, vintage pin-up star-there is no snowfall, no jolly old man with a white beard, no reindeer motifs, yet it is still, indisputably, a classic Christmas song for the modern and mature merrymaker. It is in “Warm December” that we get to see the fusion between Claudio’s alluring, transfixing sound and the lyrics of love and passion typical of Christmas festivities. The first single from the album, “ Warm December,” dropped last week and is reminiscent of what Claudio speaks of: a Christmas that is special, a sound that feels good, a song that touches on a more intimate, romantic side of the holiday season. And so I think that’s what makes it so special and it feels so good.” “There was no pressure behind it, no force, no nothing. “It just happened the way it was supposed to,” she added. And after ‘Christmas Blues,’ we just wanted to get back in and see if we could beat, but we ended up loving everything that we wrote and we came up with a whole album, and then everything else just kind of followed the album, in terms of the videos and pictures and features. It was just fun-I’ve never experienced anything having to do with holiday writing, and it was just so fun to do. “Initially, it was just supposed to be one song. “The process was just going with the flow,” she said. A Christmas album wasn’t initially on her holiday list, until one of her managers mentioned that she should try her hand at writing a Christmas song-thus came the song that would hold the album’s namesake, “Christmas Blues.” The 24-year-old singer had a very different 2020 planned out, before the pandemic hit: one that consisted of new music releases, a tour, in-person meetings and performances.

“The process was just going with the flow.” “Nothing was planned at all,” said Claudio of the album. But Christmas Blues proves that sometimes, the very best things you could receive on Christmas are presents you may not have considered putting on your list at all-presents that may not have even existed themselves, if not for just the right catalyst. The excitement of Christmas typically presents itself like a perfectly-wrapped gift with just the right bow on top under the tree-there are twinkling lights, familial laughter, and if you were really good this year, Santa may have even got you just what you wished for. It’s going to come back every year and so it’s going to be even more exciting from now on.” But Christmas is probably my new super favorite because of now what it means every year with this album. “You know, being with family and the giving and all that. “ is definitely my favorite holiday, just because of the emotion that comes with Christmas,” said Claudio. Dropping on November 27, the album features covers of three holiday classics alongside five of Claudio’s original Christmas songs, with features from The Weeknd and Alicia Keys.

Her social media presence is understated, and she hasn’t given a whole lot of “look-at-me” soundbites to give us more perspective on who she is as an artist and a person. Unlike most young artists her age, Sabrina keeps a relatively low profile. With the release of her debut album About Time setting our collective speakers on fire, our thirst for more of Sabrina Claudio’s story is growing.
