Gabrielle Aplin has released a collaborative Christmas EP, ‘December’, with Hannah Grace, on the 4th of December 2018, via Never Fade Records. Featuring covers of classic Christmas songs, the four-track EP also features a brand new song and title track, written and performed by Aplin and Grace.

The duo have teamed up and produced a four-track EP, ‘December’ that has seen them produce an original track, which is also titled ‘December’. The EP also features amazing covers of classical Christmas songs including ‘River’ by Joni Mitchell, ‘Blue Christmas’ by Elvis Presley and Martina McBride, and ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’ – originally sung by Judy Garland.

Aplin and Grace brought the ‘December’ EP to life, at Never Fade’s 2018 Christmas Party, on the 4th of December 2018, a celebration of Never Fade Records and its friends. The event will also include g the likes of Lauren Aquilina, Lewis Watson, Orla Gartland, Sonny and more.

Speaking about the collaboration, Aplin said: “I’m really happy to finally have a song out with my friend Hannah Grace. We’ve sang together for years so it was great to finally work on something new together. We’ve been wanting to collaborate on a Christmas EP for such a long time!”

Gabrielle Aplin and Hannah Grace came together after a friendship that began through a shared love of music and song-writing. Their individual projects have always been linked and this year Hannah Grace signed to Never Fade Records, a label that Aplin founded, in 2010. A joint project featuring Aplin and Grace was always a dream, and last year at the annual Never Fade Records Christmas Party the idea of the collaborative Christmas EP was born.

Speaking about the highly anticipated collaboration, Grace said: “We’re so excited to share ‘December’ with the world. We got to make the EP with a long time collaborator of both of ours, Luke Potashnick, and that made the recording process so fun and special. This EP means a lot to us and we cannot wait for everyone to hear it!”

The release of the ‘December’ EP precedes Hannah Grace’s forthcoming single ‘With You’, which will be released in January 2019. Meanwhile, it follows the recent release of Gabrielle Aplin’s brand new single ‘My Mistake’, the first taste of her forthcoming third album, which is due out next year. ‘My Mistake’, which was released on the 28th of November 2018, is the first release on her new worldwide record deal with AWAL and, Aplin’s own successful label, Never Fade Records.

The new track received a great reaction from fans and the media to critics. It featured on 18 ‘New Music Friday’ Spotify playlists across the world including the UK and US, while it has received strong critical praise from the likes of Billboard, Sunday Times Culture and The Sun alongside early Radio 2 support from Dermot O’Leary. The video has already clocked up 200,000 views.Speaking about the single, Aplin said: “I’m really excited to release ‘My Mistake’. I’ve always found writing a therapeutic escape from real life, but this song gently forced me to be brutally honest. This is a song about finding a strange sense of comfort in admitting to yourself that you’re not feeling 100% and completely owning it.”

“AWAL was the first company that I started working with when we launched Never Fade Records in 2010 to release my first EPs, and I’m really excited to be working with them again on my third album! It’s an exciting time to be an independent artist, and I know that this partnership with AWAL will bring a huge boost to the label and the acts we work with as well as myself and my own projects,” says Aplin, speaking about the partnership with AWAL.
