Kim Kardashian is turning up the jam once again!
The Kardashians star and Skims cofounder, 44, surprised fans by releasing a cover of Eartha Kitt’s “Santa Baby” late Sunday, December 22, just in time for Christmas.
Kim’s cover is produced by none other than her brother-in-law, Travis Barker, who is married to Kim’s older sister, Kourtney Kardashian. The song was released via streaming services Sunday through DTA Records, Barker’s record label, and Kim’s Kimsaprincess, Inc.
Kim also dropped an accompanying video for her return to music on Sunday. The dystopian clip features Kim crawling on all fours in a blond wig with money strewn all over the floor, while an eclectic cast of characters appear to celebrate a not-so-cheery Christmas. The video concludes with a closeup shot of a creepy Santa holding a video camera who is revealed to be Macaulay Culkin, star of the iconic holiday movie, Home Alone.
“SANTA BABY, FILM DIRECTED BY NADIA LEE COHEN & CHARLIE DENIS, SONG PRODUCED BY TRAVIS BARKER,” Kim shared via X on Sunday along with the unsettling music video.
Kim’s Christmas cover comes 13 years after she made her music debut with the song, “Jam (Turn It Up),” produced by Grammy-winning music producer The-Dream, in 2011. At the time, Kim said she was releasing the track in aid of charity and that she would not be releasing a full-length album.
During an August 2014 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Kim admitted she regretted her foray into music.
“It’s definitely a memory and it was a fun experience. We gave the proceeds to a cancer organization,” she said. “But if there’s one thing in life that I wish I didn’t do … I don’t like it when people kind of dabble into things they shouldn’t be. And that I don’t think I should have. Like, what gave me the right to think I could be a singer? Like, I don’t have a good voice.”
Oh, what fun it is to attend a Kardashian Christmas Eve party! The famous family is known for throwing an extravagant bash every year. The tradition began with Kris Jenner, but Kim Kardashian and sister Kourtney Kardashian have since picked it up for their mom. When the momager passed the baton on a June 2019 […]
As well as returning to the recording studio, Kim has been making big strides in Hollywood this year. She is currently filming a new legal drama created by Ryan Murphy for Hulu. All’s Fair, which boasts an all-star cast including Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, Glenn Close and more, will premiere in 2025. Kim will also star in and produce a comedy for Netflix titled The Fifth Wheel.
“It’s wonderful,” Paulson praised Kim’s work ethic in an interview with Variety in November. “She’s incredibly present. She’s fun, she’s game, she’s alive to the moment. She’s great.”
