This Christmas, Coco Jones Just Wants You Home—Seriously

Oh, the holidays! A time for tradition, for family, for—well, for maybe not going to your own house? That's the rather charming, and honestly quite relatable, sentiment at the heart of Coco Jones's brand-new Christmas single, "Skip My House This Christmas." It’s her very first foray into the festive musical landscape, you know, and what a delightful, soulful entry it is. Seriously, if you've ever wished your significant other would just, you know, show up at your place for the holidays instead of dealing with their own family's festive chaos, then Jones is singing directly to your soul. Or at least, to mine.

The track itself? It's a gorgeous, slow-burn R&B ballad, infused with that classic holiday warmth we all crave but still undeniably contemporary. Picture this: those smooth, buttery vocals that Coco Jones has become so beloved for, just wrapping around you like a cozy blanket on a chilly December night. And those flawless vocal runs she delivers? Absolutely exquisite. You could say it’s a heartfelt serenade, yes, a plea even, for intimacy and shared joy during a season often, frankly, overstuffed with obligations. It’s got that nostalgic feel, doesn't it, but with a fresh, modern edge that only someone like Jones could truly pull off. Honestly, it just makes you want to curl up by the fire and let the world melt away.

Now, if you’ve been paying attention—and who hasn't been?—Coco Jones has been having quite the moment, hasn't she? This new Christmas gem follows closely on the heels of her much-lauded EP, "What I Didn't Tell You," which, for those keeping score, earned her a well-deserved Grammy nomination. A Best New Artist nod, mind you! And that's on top of snagging a couple of pretty significant awards, like an NAACP Image Award and the BET Best New Artist trophy. I mean, talk about a year! So, it’s not just a cute holiday song; it’s another testament to her burgeoning talent and star power, truly. Plus, she’s out there right now, tearing up stages across the country, sharing the bill with legendary acts like Jodeci and SWV. But of course she is; that’s just how you know she’s meant for this, right?

So, as the holiday season rapidly approaches, giving us all permission to crank up the festive tunes, do yourself a favor. Add "Skip My House This Christmas" to your playlist. It’s more than just another holiday song; it's a testament to Coco Jones's ability to infuse warmth, soul, and a touch of modern romance into everything she touches. And who knows? Maybe it'll inspire someone special to skip their house this Christmas, and head straight to yours. A girl can dream, can't she?
