After a breakthrough 2025, Welsh singer-songwriter Samuel Evanson closes out the year with a sparkling new single, ‘Christmas Bells’. Known for his introspective songwriting and pop sensibilities, Evanson delivers a modern holiday anthem that balances nostalgia with contemporary flair, channeling his love of 1980s synth-pop while capturing the warmth and wonder of the season.

Following his acclaimed debut album ‘We Are Meant To Break The Rules’, praised by Wonderland, Clash Magazine, and Notion, Evanson continues to cement his status as a rising star in the UK indie-pop scene. Past releases like He Gave Me Nothing, which earned an International Music Video Award for Best LGBT Music Video, and All of a Sudden, featured on multiple Spotify editorial playlists, have already showcased his ability to craft emotionally resonant pop with broad appeal.

‘Christmas Bells’ evokes the magic and uncertainty of the holiday season, inspired by the early stages of a new relationship. Glimmering synths, driving drum patterns, and Evanson’s emotive vocals create a soundscape that nods to WHAM!’s classic holiday charm while drawing on the playful energy of modern pop acts like Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan.

Nostalgic yet forward-looking, heartfelt yet undeniably danceable, ‘Christmas Bells’ adds a fresh voice to the holiday canon. With it, Samuel Evanson demonstrates both his versatility as an artist and his continued knack for crafting pop music that resonates long after the final note fades.
