The Pretty Reckless have announced a brand-new festive EP.

Entitled Taylor Momsen’s Pretty Reckless Christmas, the record includes their recently-released cover of Where Are You Christmas? from 2000 movie How The Grinch Stole Christmas (which of course features Taylor as Cindy Lou Who). On top of that, come the October 31 release date, fans will also get four additional original holiday songs on top of that.

Speaking about their new cover, Taylor says, “Revisiting Where Are You Christmas? 25 years later feels like coming home to a part of myself I hadn’t seen in a long time. I was just a child when I first sang it, and I never could’ve imagined the way the song, and the film, would stay with people for so long and unknowingly shape my career path as an adult.

“Recording it now, with all the life I’ve lived in between, I hear it through a different lens… but the heart of it is the same. It’s about wonder, hope and holding on to the magic – something I think we all need more than ever.”
