AceShowbiz - Days leading to the release of Justin Bieber's Christmas album "Under the Mistletoe", three new songs from the holiday effort hit the web. One is an original jam called "Christmas Eve", and the other twos are cover versions of classic songs "All I Want for Christmas Is You" and "Drummer Boy".
The "Christmas Eve" was written by Bieber's "Next 2 You" collaborator Chris Brown. It features the teen charmer crooning about finding a love on the December 24 night. He's yearning to spending the holiday together with her, hanging stockings on the fireplace and eating cookies.
While Bieber sings solo in the original song, he teams up with Mariah Carey in the "All I Want for Christmas Is You" remix. The R&B diva kicks off the toe-tapping song and the teen popstar follows suit in the second verses. "I won't ask for much this Christmas/ I won't even wish for snow/ And I'm just gonna keep on waiting/ Underneath the mistletoe," he sings.
As for the "Drummer Boy", Bieber joins forces with Busta Rhymes. In this revamped tune, he turns up the beat and transforms the classic song into a dance drum-driven track. In addition to singing, the Canadian heartthrob also does some rapping before Busta charges into it by throwing his signature fast-paced lines.
Bieber is going to release his holiday album across the United States on November 1. Beside lining up Mariah and Busta, he also has three other featured guests in the charity effort. They are his idol Boyz II Men, his mentor Usher, and country music act The Band Perry. A portion of the album proceeds will be donated to charity.
