With a Death In Vegas sample…

Celeste has shared haunting new song ‘Everyday’.
The BRIT winning star recently reset the dials with her single ‘This Is Who I Am’, a sign that a new chapter was under way.
Out now on streaming, ‘Everyday’ was initially given a vinyl-only release for Record Store Day 2024 but has quickly become a fan favourite. Clips were circulated online, with Celeste stepping in to give the song a full digital release.
Rooted in a sample of Death In Vegas’ epic ‘Dirge’, the dubby low-end has a hallucinogenic charm. It’s a bad trip, with Celeste’s powerful vocal searching for a way to anchor her life amid intense emotion.
Constructed alongside Zach Nahome, sessions saw Celeste work with Matt Maltese and Maverick Sabre.
Discussing the song, she comments…
It was December 3rd 2022, I was invited out by friends and didn’t really want to go but had the feeling that I should. I ended up going to Boiler Room’s Christmas party at their office in Bethnal Green, feeling a bit lonely, heartbroken and reluctant to engage in any small talk, or flirtatious conversations.
I went to the dance floor and found myself engulfed in a song that felt familiar but I was unsure if I knew it or where I knew it from. I ended up speaking with a friend while dancing but then what overtook the conversation was a melody in my head and I began to record a voice note on my phone. This rarely happens to me so I felt it was important to gather some documentation of it so went to the smoking area to record a voice note, then the words “Everyday, wanna be close to him, never leave” came to me.
‘Everyday’ is a song that of speaks of a lust that is uncomfortable and confusing, holding onto wrong mantras and holding lovers in our thoughts almost as a prayer or daily obsession.
Tune in now.
