Sophia Scott Releases New Christmas Single
Today, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sophia Scott delivers a massive dose of Christmas cheer with her brand-new and wildly upbeat rendition of ‘Winter Wonderland’. Out now via EMPIRE, the Colorado-bred artist’s new double-song release also includes her fan-beloved cover of Wham!’s ‘Last Christmas’.
Produced by Adam Yaron, Scott’s take on ‘Winter Wonderland’ brings a fiery new energy to the Christmas classic penned by Felix Bernard and Richard Bernhard Smith. In her gloriously fun update of the nearly-century-old tune, Scott sets her powerhouse vocals against a soulful Country-Rock backdrop of rowdy electric guitars, hard-driving drums, and pounding piano melodies. Full of the same bold spirit that fuelled her acclaimed 2023 debut album BARSTOOL CONFESSIONS, the result is a surefire addition to your festive party playlist.
Revealing another dimension of her limitless musicality, Scott’s reimagining of ‘Last Christmas’ arrives just ahead of the 40th anniversary of the iconic holiday-heartbreak song written and produced by the late George Michael. In a departure from the sleigh-bell-laced Synth-Pop of the original, Scott serves up a stripped-back number graced with gently stirring rhythms and gorgeously layered guitar work. Also produced by Yaron (who previously joined forces with Scott on songs like her timeless breakup ballad ‘Lipstick on You’), ‘Last Christmas’ beautifully showcases her ravishing vocal work as she fully inhabits the song’s mood of bittersweet longing.
Scott’s Christmastime covers follow on the heels of the irresistibly brazen ‘Buy A Round’ — a September release she describes as an anthem for “being shamelessly myself in a new era of life.” Since the arrival of BARSTOOL CONFESSIONS (an LP that dropped the same day as her widely celebrated Grand Ole Opry debut), she’s also made waves with songs like the rootsy and reflective ‘Wildflowers’ and earned major accolades like being named a Pandora Artist To Watch 2024: Country and a 2024 Artist To Watch by Nashville Briefing.
Now at work on more new music, Scott is gearing up for her first-ever UK headline show, which is already sold out and taking place at Colours Hoxton in London on 3rd December 2024 with Abbie Mac as support. Continuing to expand her growing fanbase, Scott just announced her shows in Rotterdam and Berlin as a part of C2C: Country to Country, Europe’s biggest Country music festival. Over the next few weeks, she’ll also continue her recent run as support for Niko Moon’s THESE ARE THE DAYS TOUR (a trek that included Scott’s Ryman Auditorium debut) in addition to opening for Tyler Braden on a series of tour dates.
