Keith Sweat

You know just what you're gonna get when you rip into this Christmas album. After all, it's not just a Christmas album, it's a Keith Sweat Christmas album, so you know there'll be plenty of jingle-bell beats ("It's Christmas Again") and schlocky holiday metaphors ("Be Your Santa Claus"). And like that yearly pair of socks from Grandma, of course there's a rendition of "The Christmas Song." Then again, because it's Keith Sweat, you're also guaranteed some gritty, pretty crooning wrapped up tight in a sweet new-jack groove ("Party Christmas").
