Celeste Gives Record Store Day Single Everyday Full Digital Release

Celeste has given her single Everyday a full digital release.
The Brit Award-winner and Oscar nominee initially released the track as a Record Store Day exclusive vinyl last year, but it's now available on all the usual digital streaming platforms. Revolving around a sample of Death In Vegas’s 1999 single Dirge, the track's first two minutes allow Celeste's distinctive vocals to take centre stage with sparse accompaniment, before things ramp up with a full band in the final manic minute.
In a statement about the genre-defying song, which was recorded with producer Zach Nahome alongside Matt Maltese and Maverick Sabre, she said:
“It was December 3rd 2022, I was invited out by friends and didn’t really want to go but had the feeling that I should. I ended up going to Boiler Room’s Christmas party at their office in Bethnal Green, feeling a bit lonely, heartbroken and reluctant to engage in any small talk, or flirtatious conversations.
"I went to the dance floor and found myself engulfed in a song that felt familiar but I was unsure if I knew it or where I knew it from. I ended up speaking with a friend while dancing but then what overtook the conversation was a melody in my head and I began to record a voice note on my phone. This rarely happens to me so I felt it was important to gather some documentation of it so went to the smoking area to record a voice note, then the words “Everyday, wanna be close to him, never leave” came to me.
"Everyday is a song that of speaks of a lust that is uncomfortable and confusing, holding onto wrong mantras and holding lovers in our thoughts almost as a prayer or daily obsession.”
The track follows the British singer-songwriter's single This Is Who I Am, which came out in early November and marked her first new material since her 2022 standalone single To Love A Man.
Despite the new material, there's currently no news on a follow-up to her 2021 debut album, 'Not Your Muse'.
