Monét Anaïs and StaJe Bring New Energy to a Holiday Classic With Their Duet “Baby It’s Cold Outside”
Los Angeles, CA — Just in time for the holiday season, Monét Anaïs has released a fresh, modern take on the timeless classic “Baby It’s Cold Outside”—this time teaming up with rising artist StaJe for a warm, romantic duet that highlights both of their unique vocal styles. The collaboration dropped on November 21 and marks one of Monét’s most charming releases of the year.
While Monét has been steadily releasing new music throughout 2025, this holiday release hits differently. It’s playful, polished, and showcases a new layer of her artistry, blending soulful delivery with a modern spark that perfectly complements StaJe’s tone and emotional depth.
A Collaboration With Real Chemistry
StaJe’s presence on the track feels natural—and for good reason. His journey has been one defined by grit, hustle, and heart.
In 2018, StaJe moved to Los Angeles with almost nothing but a dream. Raised by a single mother in South Carolina, he spent his first six months living on the streets of Skid Row before a friend took him in. He borrowed a suit, landed a sales job at a car dealership, and slowly built the foundation he needed to pursue music full-time.
And it paid off.
His momentum began with his debut single “Keisha,” which broke into the Top 100 of the global DR charts in 2020. A year later, “Up” hit Apple Music’s Top 10 and racked up over a million views on the music video. By 2022, StaJe’s first Spanish-language record “Oceano” landed at #17 on the Billboard Top 100—an homage to his Puerto Rican roots and the Latin community in Los Angeles that helped shape him.
His success continued into 2023 with two singles—“Sunrise” and “She Don’t Want No Love”—both charting #1 on iTunes and earning Grammy consideration. StaJe is now involved in a project currently nominated for the 2026 GRAMMY Awards season, further cementing his rise as an artist with a powerful story and undeniable talent.
Why This Duet Works
“Baby It’s Cold Outside” has been reimagined countless times, but Monét and StaJe bring something refreshing to the table: authenticity. Their chemistry feels genuine, their tones blend effortlessly, and the production carries a modern warmth without losing the charm of the original.
Monét’s smooth vocals set the tone, while StaJe’s soulful delivery rounds out the track, turning it into a romantic, winter-ready duet that feels timeless and current at the same time.
Another Strong Step in Monét’s 2025 Comeback
The release arrives during a pivotal moment in Monét Anaïs’s career. After stepping back from music for several years, she returned in 2025 with renewed focus, releasing new singles and expanding her artistic direction. The full-circle holiday drop of her two-song EP Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas adds to that moment, but this collaboration stands confidently on its own.
Her duet with StaJe is not just another seasonal release—it’s a celebration of artistry, growth, and the spirit of collaboration between two artists who have fought hard for their creative space.
