Coco By the Fireplace, Coco Jones (Def Jam)

Coco's better known as an actress on Peacock's "Bel-Air" and several Disney properties, but she's pursued a parallel career as an R'nB singer, and this 2024 EP brings us four new original tunes, the sprightly opener "Santa Is Me," the slow jam "Call on Christmas," the more uptempo, and boastful, "My Presence Is a Present," and the pensive ballad "String of Lights." While trying to get up to speed on this release, I discovered she has another single from last year, "A Timeless Christmas."  Download and stream all of this from the usual sources.
