Beverley Knight provides the theme to new comedy film The Loss Adjuster with her first Christmas single ‘A Christmas Wish’.

Knight says: “It’s great to be part of a Christmas project this year, especially in light of everything going on in the world. I had never written or recorded a Christmas song as part of my solo career, I was never really moved to do it. That is until I heard ‘A Christmas Wish’. Quite simply, it bangs, and you don’t turn down bangers, no matter what the time of year!”

“It is wonderful to release an uplifting song, spread some holiday cheer and put a smile on people’s faces. I have said in many interviews that music has the power to heal, and that we in entertainment are the nation’s cheerleaders helping people through these challenging times. That’s why I’m honoured that the song features in the forthcoming movie The Loss Adjuster in time for the festive season. We had great fun recording the video in the beautiful Noel Coward theatre (at a social distance of course) but it was brilliant to be supporting venues like that which have been forced to close for such a long time. I’m incredibly excited to be able to share this song with everyone.”

With (obligatory) sleigh bells, a big pop production, and a singalong chorus, ‘A Christmas Wish’ sits comfortably in the cannon of contemporary Christmas pop. Think: Leona Lewis’ ‘One More Sleep’ or Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Underneath the Tree’. Knight adds some of her vocal special sauce to the mix too (listen to her lovely flourish at 2.10) which helps lift the tune up a notch.
