Yahoo News Leona releases acoustic version of Christmas hit
There are two types of people in this world – those who double-tap the loop button on their playlists that are just 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' 10 times come November 1, and... everyone else.
But even if your feelings about sleigh bells and frosted windowpanes are, at best, lukewarm, you might still enjoy X Factor 2006 champion Leona Lewis' 'One More Sleep,' a special, stripped-back version of which premiered on Marie Claire US.
['One More Sleep' appears on Amazon's All Is Bright playlist. STREAM IT]
Structured as a Yuletide countdown – in the tradition of partridges in pear trees, maids a-milking, etc. – but with a Motown vibe, the cozy track captures the atmosphere of anticipation that surrounds the season, as well as Leona's long-time connection to Christmas music.
"I was so excited to record an acoustic version of 'One More Sleep'," Leona said. "The song actually originally sounded more like this when we first worked on it, really soulful and stripped back.
"Writing an original Christmas song was something I always wanted to do – growing up, so many of my favorite artists had Christmas albums, so this song really is a dream come true. I love the way it embodies the spirit of Christmas in such a fun way."
Listen to 'One More Sleep' here before it appears on the Amazon Original playlist All Is Bright, available to stream via Amazon Music Unlimited and Prime Music from November 24.
And hit play below for a behind-the-scenes look, featuring some Lewis family home videos and one very festive dog.
