Following their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Sink Or Swim’, released in October 2023 (“chock full of folk-pop nuggets”- The Afterword, “a terrific debut album”– Fatea Magazine, “a cocktail of melodic folksy pop”- Folking.com), Ellie Walker, Cambridge born singer-songwriter celebrated for her enchanting voice, captivating melodies and luscious harmonies, releases her next single, ‘This Christmas Morning’ with her band Ellie Walker & The Folly.

This upbeat, infectious, and classily cheesy (if that’s a thing?!) track tells the endearing story of a Christmas Fairy (Eve) and an Elf (Frosty), who discover love amidst their feelings of loneliness and lack of festive spirit at Christmas time. ‘This Christmas Morning’ captures the magic and joy of the festive season, blending Ellie’s signature indie-pop sound with catchy melodies that are sure to get stuck in your head. The song beautifully illustrates how love can be found even in the midst of loneliness and isolation, with a bit of festive sprinkle thrown in.

“I wanted to create a fun, joyful song that celebrates the spirit of love and connection during the festive period,” Ellie shares. “It’s about finding joy in companionship, and I hope it brings smiles and joy to everyone who listens.”

Ellie saw great success when BBC Radio 1 favourites Saturday Night Gym Club re-imagined her track ‘I Know’ into a synth-pop hit, giving opportunities to perform at the Radio 1 Big Weekend, as well as the O2 Indigo and a feature on an ad for Rotary Watches. Now working as ‘Ellie Walker & The Folly’ with her bandmates —Mike, Mark, Max, and Carly—her pure, ethereal voice resonates deeply with listeners, weaving through lush melodies, heart-wrenching harmonies and raw lyrics. Think Feist, Belle & Sebastian, Ohbijou and Kate Bush – Ellie’s multi-instrumental arrangements create catchy, melody rich songs that soon become lovely earworms to all who listen.

With its playful lyrics and rich arrangement including trumpets, bells, organs and synths, ‘This Christmas Morning’ is poised to become a festive favourite for listeners of all ages. The track showcases Ellie’s unique vocals, complemented by the vibrant energy of her band. Their dynamic sound brings the story of the Eve and Frosty to life, making it an irresistible addition to any festive playlist. Fans can stream ‘This Christmas Morning’ on all major platforms now.

Ellie will also be performing the new single at venues across the UK, bringing the festive spirit directly to her audiences. Join Ellie in celebrating love, connection and joy this festive season with ‘This Christmas Morning,’ a delightful song that promises to uplift even the scroogiest-of-hearts and spread festive cheer far and wide!

Fresh off a magnetic live performance at the Hard Rock Café Times Square, rising pop artist and fashion trailblazer Jittaun unveils her newest single “Chase” – a high-energy track that embodies ambition, movement and fearless individuality.

The New York-born New Jersey raised singer-songwriter is not just making music –– she’s creating a world where sound, style, and self-expression collide. On “Chase,” Jittaun rides pulsing beats and soaring melodies to deliver a message that feels tailor-made for today’s generation: Don’t Just dream-run toward it. The track is now streaming on all platform, including Apple Music.

At her recent Hard Rock Cafe performance, Jittaun proved she’s more than just a voice – chess’s a force. Blending bold vocals, commanding stage presence and a keen fashion sense, she left audiences spellbound and craving for more.

Fusing Pop with notes of Rock, R&B, HIP-HOP and Afrobeats, Jittaun’s artistry defies easy categorization- much like her inspiration: think the soul of James Brown, the electricity of Prince, the fearlessness of Grace Jones, and the genre-bending spirit of David Bowie. Yet it’s her own modern, audacious vision that sets her apart: a Gen-z powerhouse unafraid to mix glamour with grit.

Already gaining traction among fashion insiders, Jittaun’s style is an extension of her music – edgy, expressive, and unapologetically her. Whether she’s in couture or street wear, she’s rewriting the rules of Pop stardom with overlook and every beat.

With “Chase”leading the way and more music and visuals on the horizon, Jittaun is not just chasing dreams – she’s catching them, one electrifying step at time.
