by Essentially Pop | Posted on

December 3 sees the opening of the third door on The Essential Advent Calendar with Sam Smith’s new Christmas single, a beautiful festive love ballad, ‘Night Before Christmas’. 


 
‘Night Before Christmas’ is added to Sam’s magical Christmas compilation, ‘The Holly and The Ivy’ and will sit alongside previous tracks ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’, ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’, ‘Palace’, ‘River’, and ‘Fire on Fire’ – from ‘Watership Down’. 

This seasonal celebration comes as a pre-cursor to Sam’s highly anticipated new album, ‘GLORIA’, due for release on 27th January. Continuing to dominate the global charts with the lead single from the album, the megahit ‘Unholy’, featuring Kim Petras.  Spotify streams for ‘Unholy’ have surpassed 600 million and is Sam’s eighth UK Official Chart No.1 as well as hitting the top of the Billboard Hot 100 at No.1.   
 
Last month Sam and Kim were awarded an MTV EMA with the Video For Good Award and having sold out two headline shows at London’s historic Royal Albert Hall, Sam will be preparing for their UK and European tour in the Spring.
