While we wait for his Interscope Records debut to drop in 2013, Mateo warms us up with some holiday fare. On the original tune “This Xmas (Be My Baby),” the Cincinnati singer-songwriter croons about sharing Christmas with a loved one. In the festive video, Mateo spends the most wonderful time of the year in New York City with his friends including producer Kerry “Krucial” Brothers.

“While recording for the album at the Krucial compound, we got a new camera,” said Mateo. “We took the camera out with us the first night and this is pretty much what happened. New York…Christmas…always gets you in the spirit. Happy holidays, fly world!”

Mateo will perform at the famed SOBs in New York on December 19 and debut another holiday song, “Let It Snow (Xmas Time),” in the coming week.
