Anita Baker

With her classy, refined brand of romantic soul, Anita Baker was one of the definitive quiet storm singers of the '80s. Gifted with a strong, supple alto, Baker was influenced not only by R&B, but jazz, gospel, and traditional pop, which gave her music a distinctly adult sophistication. Smooth and mellow, but hardly lifeless, it made her one of the most popular romantic singers of her time.

Grammy-winning singer Anita Baker gives give her fans a reason to rejoice this holiday season when Blue Note releases Christmas Fantasy on October 25th, her first-ever disc of Christmas music. Produced and arranged by Baker and Barry Eastmond, the album mixes traditional Christmas carols ("God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"), standards ("I'll Be Home For Christmas"), re-imagined classics ("Frosty's Rag"), Broadway show tunes ("My Favorite Things"), and three new songs by Baker and Eastmond ("Moonlight Sleighride," "Family of Man," and "Christmas Fantasy"), all tied together with Baker's warm, rapturous voice.
