Ally Brooke and Dinah Jane check off one gift on the Harmonizers wish list.
The two pop stars and former members of Fifth Harmony have reunited to release a special duet of the holiday classic “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” — marking the first time anyone from the girl group has teamed up since going on hiatus in 2018. The surprise release arrived Friday , along with a charming music video in which the performers are happy and singing in the studio.
The “Low Key” artist, 30, and the “Bottled Up” singer, 26, give the classic holiday song their own pop princess twist by updating the track to feature some slick R&B-inspired production. The voices of both hitmakers soar, and they can again be heard harmonizing like a special sock.
