Today Willie J Healey announces his upcoming 7" Merry Christmas alongside a new video. Healey once again demonstrates his skill with melody with this festive offering - full of warmth, positivity and his now trademark lyrical charm. Merry Christmas - like previous single Fashun - is the result of sessions Willie undertook in New York with Loren Humphrey. Fittingly, the video was also shot in New York, the backdrop to so many magical Christmas memories. The single follows Heavy Traffic which ran on the A-List at BBC 6Music and caps a breakout year for the Bristol based songwriter.

Willie says of the single "I’ve always loved Christmas. I wanted to write a song for all of the hard working parents out there, working tirelessly to provide without glory or merit."
