Rihanna puts an island-inspired spin on Christmas with her new song, 'A Child is Born,' featured on 'Now That's What I Call Christmas! 4.'

The Barbados native joins the likes of Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and Maroon 5 on the fourth installment of the 'Now' holiday series, which includes modern covers of traditional songs as well as original Christmas compositions.

But this isn't Rihanna's first foray into holiday music -- the 22-year-old singer also contributed 'It Just Don't Feel Like Xmas (Without You)' to 'Now That's What I Call Christmas! 3' in 2006.

Although 'A Child is Born' has a counterintuitive sound, those who prefer the tropical sun to a fireplace will find this song to be the perfect soundtrack to their holiday vacation in the Caribbean -- or at least daydreams of it.

Let Rihanna take you away with 'A Child is Born,' which you can listen to on AOL Radio's Pop Holiday station now.
