Rios and Foley exude a playful charm, and their interplay feels organic and unforced, with two voices that sing to each other with warmth and intelligence. It's all padded out with jazz-imbued instrumentation, crafted with subtle production touches to give it a cinematic feel. This rendition is marked by a sense of purpose.
Rios reclaims the conversation, reverses traditional roles, and imbues the production with a modern confidence. Foley meets her energy with a certain lack of affect, resulting in a duet that celebrates mutual desire and consent, flirtation on equal terms. "Baby, It's Cold Outside" has been a holiday season staple for decades, but this updated version is especially timely. Bella Rios and Benjamin Foley not only honor the song's legacy but also provide an interpretation that resonates with the expression of today's narratives and relationships.
