Hurts have announced their follow up to the single Stay will be a special Christmas song called All I Want For Christmas is New Year’s Day. The song will be made available as a free download from iTunes for one week commencing December 14th and released physically the following week.
Happy yet dark and with a nostalgic Christmas feel, the single is one of many this year that announce a firm return to the traditional one off Christmas songs from pop artists that have been in short supply in recent times.
