SOAK has today unveiled a beautiful new version of the classic ‘Driving Home For Christmas’.
This comes hot on the heels of comeback track ‘Everybody Loves You’, which picked up support across the board and saw Bridie play a sold-out UK tour.
All this follows 2015’s critically-acclaimed debut album Before We Forgot How To Dream, which made SOAK one of the Mercury Prize’s youngest ever nominees. The record also won the prestigious Choice Music Prize for Album of the Year, the Northern Irish Music Prize, saw Bridie shortlisted for a Q Award (‘Best New Act’), as well as taking home the European Border Breaker Award.
With ‘Driving Home For Christmas’ wrapping a busy 2018 for SOAK, next year will see Bridie release her much-anticipated second album: more news to follow soon.
