Britain’s hottest new boyband December 10 continue their quest to become the biggest musical act on planet pop with the release of their highly anticipated new single ‘Angel’.
Written and produced by international hitmakers Julian Bunetta (Sabrina Carpenter, Teddy Swims) and Savan Kotecha (Ariana Grande, The Weeknd), the track unfolds as a warm, intimate, melody-driven ballad that leans into the dizzying rush of falling headfirst in love.
Arriving hot on the heels of their rambunctious debut ‘Run My Way’ – which has generated millions of streams to date, (including over 2 million on Spotify alone) and reached No.1 on the Official Physical and Vinyl Singles Charts – the songs accompanying performance video sees the band lay the track bare, trading spectacle for stark intimacy.
Directed by Laurence Warder (Bring Me The Horizon, J Hus, Kasabian, Zara Larsson) and produced by Vicky Kanji-Smith for Bad Bones Films, the intimate session captures John on keys, alongside Seán and Hendrik on guitar and Josh on cajón, as the band reshape the song into a tender, slow-burning confessional.
Commenting on the emotional track, the group say in a joint statement: “We are so excited for our second single to be out in the world. Felt mind-blowing on tour to see everyone singing it back to us from when we teased it online!! Totally surreal.”
Less than three months after their introduction on Simon Cowell: The Next Act, and fresh from signing with EMI Records, December 10 are already moving at a relentless pace.
They’ve already racked up millions of followers across socials and over half a million monthly Spotify listeners, with their debut single ‘Run My Way’, while the official music video and their stripped-back take on NSYNC’s ‘Bye, Bye, Bye’ have tipped past 2.4 million and 1.9 million organic YouTube views respectively.
The release of ‘Angel’ arrives hot on the heels of the boys announcing an upcoming headline show at O2 Shepherd’s Bush on Wednesday, April 9th, (full details here), and performing 13 sold-out live shows across the UK and Ireland.
Their recent Introducing! run of live dates kicked off in Glasgow on February 16th and wrapped in Dublin on February 22nd, drawing more than 7,500 fans. Extra shows were added twice in response to demand, with all dates selling out within minutes.
