Rick Astley has one thing on his Christmas list this year… love!
The ’80s favourite is back with his latest, Motown-inspired number, Love This Christmas, which reflects on the important things in life and looks forward to a more positive year ahead.
A true winter warmer, the tune showcases the Never Gonna Give You Up star’s trademark soulful vocals, laden with harmonies and, as befits any Christmas song, sleigh bells.
It’s Rick’s first release since his 2019 greatest hits album The Best of Me, which featuring the original track Every One of Us.
During the pandemic, he’s also shared a number of cover versions online, including his recordings of Foo Fighters classic Everlong and Sia’s dance floor hit Titanium.
