If Sanaa Lathan drops a holiday album, we’re definitely picking it up! 

The Love & Basketball actress took to Instagram to share her vocal talents with the classic “Jingle Bells,” spreading holiday cheer and impressing fans with her raspy, soulful voice.

Merry Merry 🎄🎄🎄🍓

Lathan has showed off her vocal chops before, dropping a single last year called “Emotional,” produced by Detail and featuring DeJ Loaf. Inspired by Michael Ealy’s character in The Perfect Guy movie, Lathan sings about needy and insecure men. 

She told the ladies of The Real, “I’m in a place in my life where I want to step out of my comfort zone and say yes and not be afraid…Went in the studio was there all night, it was amazing, the song came out great.”

With a voice like that, we wouldn’t mind an album from Sanaa in 2017.
