Samuel Evanson Unveils New Single ‘Christmas Bells’

Samuel Evanson has spent the past year carving out a distinctive space in the indie-pop universe, and his new festive single ‘Christmas Bells’ feels like the culmination of everything he’s been building toward.

Warm, shimmering, and emotionally rich, the track shows the Welsh artist blending his introspective songwriting with a sleek pop sensibility that’s quickly becoming his signature. It’s a holiday song, yes—but it’s also a snapshot of an artist learning to celebrate the softer moments of life.

From the opening synth swells, ‘Christmas Bells’ sets a tone that’s both nostalgic and forward-leaning. Evanson borrows textures from 1980s seasonal pop but filters them through a 2025 lens: bright, crisp, and irresistibly danceable. The melody glides, the percussion sparkles, and his vocals glide effortlessly atop it all, carrying just enough vulnerability to anchor the track emotionally. The music feels familiar without ever slipping into imitation.

What makes the song resonate most is its narrative foundation. Written at the beginning of his current relationship, ‘Christmas Bells’ captures the fluttery, uncertain alchemy of early love—when everything feels possible and precarious at the same time. Evanson translates that feeling into sound, letting each synth flicker like a half-formed hope. It’s personal but deeply relatable, tapping into the universal rush of connection that often defines the holiday season.

Evanson is no stranger to critical acclaim and his recent successes only reinforce that momentum. From the award-winning video for ‘He Gave Me Nothing’ to the playlist traction of ‘All of a Sudden’, he’s become one of the UK’s most promising new storytellers. ‘Christmas Bells’ expands that narrative, showing the playful, romantic side of an artist known for emotional precision.

For listeners discovering him for the first time or longtime fans following every release, ‘Christmas Bells’ lands as a generous seasonal offering—one that blends nostalgia, modern pop polish, and genuine heart. It’s festive music with soul, crafted by an artist who continues to find new layers within his own voice. If this is Evanson’s holiday chapter, it’s a bright one.
