"Santa Brother," James Follette (Basquiat Beats)

This was actually out in 2010 but the artist's label just hipped me to it the other week. James is a UK singer preparing to break into the US market with an album sometime next year, but in the meantime his management had him cut this, a gender reversal on Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby." It's a bit more uptempo than the original, with a more contemporary beat, and updated lyrics including a "Gucci suit" instead of the "sable" sought in the original first verse. One suspects a gay take on the song from that description (not that there's anything wrong with that), but that ain't necessarily so. Stream it at Soundcloud or grab it from iTunes (click the art) and eMusic.
