Holiday Music: Ledisi - "Be There for Christmas"

As this is being written, Christmas is still more than a month away, but there's a flood of new holiday music out, so over the next couple of days, yours truly will share some of the better stuff with you. Today, we've got "Be There for Christmas," a swinging, upbeat tune by jazz-R&B singer Ledisi. The song's off her 2008 holiday album, It's Christmas, which came out back in September. For more on new Christmas/holiday-themed albums, check out the list of 2008 R&B Holiday Albums. And next week, reviews of some of the albums on the list, including ones by Brian McKnight, Aretha Franklin and Ledisi herself, will be posted here.
