Olympia Vitalis Links With Common Saints For New Single ‘December Sunshine’

has shared her new single ‘December Sunshine’.

Out now, the single follows a wicked run of releases from the alt-soul riser, including this year’s sumptuous jazz-infused ‘Lady Luck’ EP.

New single ‘December Sunshine’ is a luxurious feast of alt-soul, built alongside Common Saints. The two used Marlena Shaw’s epochal ‘The Spice Of Life’ album as a point of reference, before building the illuminating song from the ground-up.

Olympia comment…

“‘December Sunshine’ was written in the dead of the British winter when I was wearing a couple layers and thermals in the studio. It’s about when the warmth you crave in the winter is in the form of a person you love. It was written incredibly quickly and lives quite comfortably next to Lady Luck but also in a world slightly adjacent. Charlie and I listened to Marlena Shaw’s The Spice of Life and really old-school soul records before we made this and so once the song had been made, we wanted to emulate that in the sonics, hence its slightly more vintage mix than the other songs.”

Common Saints adds: “Olympia and I have been collaborating for a while and this song came about very naturally. We drew heavily upon both our taste and inspirations from the 1960s and ‘70s and she really captured the magic in the vocal. Can’t wait for this one to be in the world! Absolute banger.”

Tune in now.
