Today, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sophia Scott delivers a massive dose of holiday cheer with her brand-new and wildly upbeat rendition of “Winter Wonderland” — go here to listen. Out now via EMPIRE, the Colorado-bred artist’s new double-song release also includes her fan-beloved cover of Wham!’s “Last Christmas” — check it out here.

Produced by Adam Yaron, Scott’s take on “Winter Wonderland” brings a fiery new energy to the Christmas classic penned by Felix Bernard and Richard Bernhard Smith. In her gloriously fun update of the nearly-century-old tune, Scott sets her powerhouse vocals against a soulful Country-Rock backdrop of rowdy electric guitars, hard-driving drums, and pounding piano melodies. Full of the same bold spirit that fueled her acclaimed 2023 debut album BARSTOOL CONFESSIONS, the result is a surefire addition to your holiday-party playlist.

Revealing another dimension of her limitless musicality, Scott’s reimagining of “Last Christmas” arrives just ahead of the 40th anniversary of the premiere of the iconic holiday-heartbreak song written and produced by the late George Michael. In a departure from the sleigh-bell-laced Synth-Pop of the original, Scott serves up a stripped-back number graced with gently stirring rhythms and gorgeously layered guitar work. Also produced by Yaron (who previously joined forces with Scott on songs like her timeless breakup ballad “Lipstick on You”), “Last Christmas” beautifully showcases her ravishing vocal work as she fully inhabits the song’s mood of bittersweet longing.

Scott’s Christmastime covers follow on the heels of the irresistibly brazen “Buy A Round” — a September release she describes as an anthem for “being shamelessly myself in a new era of life.” Since the arrival of BARSTOOL CONFESSIONS (an LP that dropped the same day as her widely celebrated Grand Ole Opry debut), she’s also made waves with songs like the rootsy and reflective “Wildflowers” and earned major accolades like being named a Pandora Artist To Watch 2024: Country and a 2024 Artist To Watch by Nashville Briefing. 

Now at work on more new music, Scott is gearing up for her first-ever UK headline show, which is already sold out and taking place at Colours Hoxton in London on December 3 with Abbie Mac as support. Continuing to expand her growing fanbase overseas, Scott just announced her shows in Rotterdam and Berlin as a part of C2C: Country to Country, Europe’s biggest Country music festival. Over the next few weeks, she’ll also continue her recent run as support for Niko Moon’s THESE ARE THE DAYS TOUR (a trek that included Scott’s Ryman Auditorium debut) in addition to opening for Tyler Braden on a series of tour dates. Go here to check out Scott’s full tour schedule.

ABOUT SOPHIA SCOTT: 
Based in Nashville but raised in Colorado, Sophia Scott has blazed her own bold trail to Country stardom. With a rare gift for raw yet exquisitely detailed storytelling — and a one-of-a-kind sound infused with elements of Southern Rock, Pop, R&B, and Soul — the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist has amassed over 127 MILLION career streams. Growing up in Boulder, she took up piano and guitar as a child and soon started composing songs of her own, then further developed her unforgettably candid songwriting voice upon kicking off her music career in Los Angeles. During her six years in L.A., Scott found early success with singles like 2018’s “White Fence” and 2019’s “Drink Too Much Wine” (both featured on coveted playlists like Spotify’s New Music Friday), but ultimately relocated to Nashville and immersed herself in sharpening her craft. A breakthrough year for Scott, 2021 brought such triumphs as opening for the Jonas Brothers, landing on an artists-to-watch list from People, and inking her record deal with EMPIRE Nashville. The fast-rising artist maintained that momentum throughout 2022, when she delivered her widely acclaimed debut EP One Of These Days — a six-song project that earned praise from American Songwriter, E! News, Entertainment Tonight, and CMT (who stated that “Nashville newcomer Sophia Scott proves she has a bright future ahead in the genre”) and explored such complex subjects as watching her loved ones struggle with addiction (on the fan-favorite “Side Effects”). Along with signing a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and Ross Golan’s Unknown Music Publishing in 2022, Scott made her bucket list debut at the Grand Ole Opry the same day as the arrival of her debut album BARSTOOL CONFESSIONS (EMPIRE) — an October 2023 release that quickly received nods of approval from the likes of CMT, Taste of Country, Holler, MusicRow's DISClaimer, and more.
