A Spanish version of\u00a0<\/span>Brenda Lee<\/strong>‘s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”\u00a0<\/span>created with\u00a0<\/span>artificial intelligence \u2014<\/span>\u00a0and with Lee’s approval \u2014 is here just in time for the holiday season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new version, titled “Noche Buena y Navidad,” was produced by Grammy winner Aureo Baqueiro<\/strong>, who kept the original music and background vocals from the original version but replaced Lee’s lead vocals with a new Spanish-language vocal created with SoundLab’s AI MicDrop tool. It was released Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

This audio plug-in, which allows a person to transform their voice into another person’s voice, makes it appear as though Lee was back in the recording booth at age 13 singing the song in Spanish.<\/span><\/p>\n

A press release from Universal Music Group credits “an innovative use of responsibly-trained AI technology” for helping create “Noche Buena y Navidad.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I am so blown away by this new Spanish version of ‘Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree,’ which was created with the help of AI,” Lee said in a press release.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Throughout my career, I performed and recorded many songs in different languages, but I never recorded ‘Rockin” in Spanish, which I would have loved to do,” she continued. “To have this out now is pretty incredible and I’m happy to introduce the song to fans in a new way.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Lee’s iconic Christmas song, released 66 years ago, hit #1 on the <\/span>Billboard<\/span><\/em> Hot 100 chart last year.<\/span><\/p>\n
