This one is a little unusual in that we have featured it before, but it’s a charity release so we’re kicking the rules into the corner in the spirit of raising money for a good cause…
The Kut has re-released her meloncholy holiday single “Waiting for Christmas”, this year in of UK women’s charity White Ribbon. All streaming revenue and £1 from each CD, vinyl or donate to the charity, whose work seeks to change harmful attitudes, behaviours and stereotypes that perpetuate violence.
Highlighting the sombre side of the Christmas period, the song presents it alongside an uplifting message of hope, complete with orchestral strings and bells.
Recorded by Jack Ashley on location at Fiction Studios and mastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios, the music video was filmed during the recording session and subsequently playlisted by US channels MTV, LATV and Music Choice.

“It’s obvious there is still so much to be done… Whether that’s in the music scene, in society at large… or on the streets and then at home. Please my Christmas wish to end violence against women and girls this year”
“Waiting for Christmas” was first released in 2020 and has since ed Red Cross (2020), Girls Out Loud (2021), Mind (2022) and Music Venue Trust (2023). Now in its fifth year, the classic festive ballad preceded The Kut’s UK Number 1 Rock Album GRIT, but despite its contrast in sound has since become her most streamed track.
