Jason KelceandStevie Nicks' duet is here!
After weeks ofteasing the collaboration, the pair released a cover of Ron Sexsmith’s “Maybe This Christmas” on Friday, Nov. 8. The festive song will feature on Jason’s annual Philadelphia-themed holiday album,A Philly Special Christmas Party.
Nicks' lyrics include, “Maybe forgiveness will ask us to call / Someone we love, someone we’ve lost / For reasons we can’t quite recall.”
“Maybe there’ll be an open door / Maybe the star that shone before / Will shine once more,” the pair sing together.
The song’s release comes after Jason raved aboutworking with the Fleetwood Mac iconwhile speaking on the Oct. 30 episode of theNew Heights with Jason and Travis Kelcepodcast.
“Which in itself is, like, pretty crazy to actually be on a track with Stevie Nicks. I mean, absolutely unreal,” theretired Philadelphia Eagles playercontinued.
“[She’s] probably the most legendary female singer, especially of her generation … [and so] the fact that I’m singing with her this legend, is pretty unreal,” Jason added.
