Welsh singer-songwriter Samuel Evanson is ending 2025 on a high note with his brand-new festive single, ‘Christmas Bells’. If you’ve been following him this year, you’ll know he’s been on fire, from his critically acclaimed debut album ‘We Are Meant To Break The Rules’ to his award-winning single ‘He Gave Me Nothing’, Evanson has quickly become one of the UK’s most exciting indie-pop voices.
‘Christmas Bells’ is pure holiday magic, blending 80s-inspired synth-pop vibes with Evanson’s signature emotive vocals. Think sparkling synths, driving drums, and a sense of wonder that perfectly captures that mix of excitement and uncertainty in new love, he actually started writing this at the beginning of his current relationship, which makes it feel so personal and relatable. At the same time, it’s impossible not to get swept up in the upbeat, danceable energy.
“This track is personal to me as I began writing this at the beginning of my current relationship and it’s about the uncertainty of the first few months, like, there’s something magic in the air but you don’t know if it will stick.”
This is exactly the kind of track that makes you want to press repeat, nostalgic enough to feel like a classic, but fresh and playful enough to stand out in any holiday playlist. With ‘Christmas Bells’, Samuel Evanson shows off a different, lighter side of his artistry while staying true to the emotional depth that’s made him one to watch. It’s heartfelt, it’s fun, and it’s the perfect soundtrack for this season.
