Maysa takes the Charlie Brown Xmas special song, “Christmas Time Is Here” and adapts it to her signature smooth R&B sound. The song is from her A Very Maysa Christmas that was released last week on the Shanachie label. Among the 11-song playlist Maysa also covers “Little Drummer Boy,” “Jingle Bells” and duets with Will Downing on Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas.” Maysa has consistently put out solo albums for the past two decades but as she says,“I’ve been wanting to do a Christmas record for years. I hope people enjoy my take on the songs they’ve heard done by hundreds of artists over the years. My biggest wish for mankind is that people truly learn what it means to love yourself. I believe a healthy self esteem is the basis for true happiness.â€
