To round-off an incredible, break-out year - including the release of her acclaimed debut LP and a sold out, six-date UK tour - Billie Marten has revealed an early Christmas present. Her cover of the iconic 'White Christmas' is full of the typical bucolic beauty that we have come to expect from the newcomer, far beyond her 17 years. Simple, gently plucking electric guitar provides the bed for her warm and hauntingly pretty vocal to recall the festive classic with a whole new poignancy. Wonderful stuff from one of 2016's most promising UK singer-songwriters. -G.O'B
