R&B-Jazz Saxophonist Shawn Raiford Releases 'Santa Baby'

(Sacremento, CA) - Mesmerized by Eartha Kitt's tantalizing and teasing performance of "Santa Baby," R&B-Jazz saxophonist Shawn Raiford has been playing his version of the holiday classic in his set for over twenty years. Recently he released his version of "Santa Baby" as a single. It's become a perennial fan favorite, inspiring the Sacramento-based saxman to record and release his rendition. Grammy winner Derek "DOA" Allen (Lionel Richie, Janet Jackson, Tyrese) produced the single.

Raiford is a high-energy, award-winning concert performer and his recording projects are a blend of R&B, Jazz, Funk and Soul. Yet his take on "Santa Baby" exhibits an entirely different sound and style. The track Allen crafted is a slow, deliberate and seductive straight-ahead jazz cut. Whereas Kitt's voice flirts and seduces playfully, Raiford's tenor sax warms, charms and comforts. Along with some backing sax sounds from Eddie Minnifield (Prince, Sheila E., Aretha Franklin), Allen decorated the track with bells and strings that add whimsical nuances, enhancing the childlike feelings of wonder at Christmastime. The Shawn Raiford Experience, a popular band on the NorCal scene that has opened for or performed with Teddy Riley, Yolanda Adams, Freddie Jackson, Pete Escovedo, Eric Darius and Jeff Ryan, and has been playing dates this year with R&B singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Chuckii Booker.

Raiford has been ramping up all year for the release of his second album, "The Next Step," which Allen is producing. Thus far, he's issued three singles to preview the set slated to drop in April - "Forever," "Leave The Door Open" and "Vallejo."

Raiford who plays at Yoshi's in Oakland on December 18, 2023 and at The Palace Events in Dallas on January 13, 2024.

(New York, NY) - "The Way I Remember It" is the eight studio album from the Velvet Teddy Bear himself, Ruben Studdard. The album is globally available via the label partnership with Legend Tribe, RCS, and the SRG-ILS Group .

Earlier this year, we were first introduced to the to the newly updated sound from Ruben Studdard, with the album title-track, "The Way I Remember It." The Way I Remember it is a classic storytelling song. It describes the moment a man meets the woman that he plans to spend the rest of his life with. I think this song is beautifully written and produced and Mr. Belewa Muhammad did such an amazing job on it. I literally heard the song at 1:00pm and by 1:30pm, I was already recording it," mentions Ruben. "I knew from the first listen that my core fan-base would love this song," he adds.

The second song to be released from the album was the beautiful mid-tempo call-out tune, "W.I.F.E."

Right on time for the release of the album, the song, "Masterprice", serves as the official new single.

On November 17, 2023, catch Ruben Studdard performing his new single, "Masterprice" on The Tamron Hall Show.

Ruben Studdard is currently on his national tour, with best-friend and fellow American Idol contestant, Clay Aiken on the "Ruben and Clay Twenty Years: One Night Tour."

Ruben Christopher Studdard rose to fame 20 years ago as the winner of the second season of American Idol. Later that same year Ruben received his first Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for "Superstar". Ruben has released six studio albums, including his platinum-selling debut, Soulful, and the top-selling gospel follow-up, I Need an Angel. Although he is more well-known for his recording career, he has also had a notable acting career on both stage and screen. Most notably, he toured with Robin Givens in the comedy-drama I Need a Hug and in 2008 starred as Fats Waller in the national tour revival of Ain't Misbehavin'. Currently Ruben is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his American Idol victory with fellow season two alum Clay Aiken with a nationwide co-headlining tour.
