Halloween’s spooky corpse isn’t even cold yet, and already Mariah Carey is doing vocal runs all over it. At midnight, Mrs. Christmas herself released a new original holiday song and music video, called “Fall in Love at Christmas.†And, oh man, this is one you’re going to want to listen to splayed out in front of a roaring fireplace on the bearskin rug that I presume you own. It’s an extremely smooth duet with Khalid, just nonstop harmonizing and that twinkly sound effect that I want to say is … chimes? Is it chimes? And just when the song is shepherding you softly to sleep, choirmaster Kirk Franklin brings the gospel choir in and kicks things up a notch. At this point, Carey’s kids and dog all join the music video, Carey’s breaking out the whistle tone, and Franklin gives a little spoken outro about love and grace. It’s enough to make you set up your Christmas tree early.
