Jhené Aiko is regifting her holiday track “Wrap Me Up” with an upgraded version as the holiday season winds down. The track was first uploaded on SoundCloud in 2012, and it featured James Fauntleroy.
The 2021 version of “Wrap Me Up” replaces Tae Beast’s original production and arrangement in favor of a shinier approach by Lejkeys, Aiko, and the Fisticuffs. The smooth voice of the R&B vocalist is encased by a new collection of strings and horns. To further hone in on that festive feeling, Aiko extends the refrain “Silent night, embrace me tight/In your arms, all is right” in the original bridge.
In its latest form, “Wrap Me Up” is closer to the peaceful, dream-like approach Aiko has taken to her music in recent years — really far away from the singer who was still working it out a decade ago.
