Soul artist Celeste has been planning the release of her debut album for months now, sharing singles and teasers with fans who were looking forward to the confirmed date of 26th February 2021 to hear the full record. But, last night (13th January), the singer posted on her social media pages to say: “NOT YOUR MUSE MY DEBUT ALBUM IS COMING OUT A MONTH EARLY JANUARY 29TH!!!”
In December 2020 Celeste told her followers that ‘Not Your Muse’ was the “beginning of finding (her) voice”, saying that it’s empowering for her. She continued, “Each song that has been written can pin point a very specific moment in my life, so I look forward to you all hearing those stories.. I hope you like it.”
So far from the album’s track-list three songs have been released. First, over a year ago on 9th January 2020 came ‘Stop This Flame’, a fast-paced track with a show-stopping chorus. This was followed by ‘A Little Love’ in November despite the songwriter sharing a number of other songs which are not featured on the album. The song was written for the John Lewis Christmas advert and was perfectly heart-warming for the winter time.
Finally, Celeste shared her latest release on 31st December, ‘Love Is Back’, a subtle love song about falling in love with someone new after a rocky romance history. It was previously performed at various live shows, but never released officially until recently. Upon its debut, Celeste played the song on Jools Holland’s New Year’s Eve Hootenanny.
