VANCOUVER JAZZ MUSICIAN ANITA ECCLESTON VISITED BY GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST ON NEW HOLIDAY SINGLE “LONG NIGHTS”

Vancouver musician Anita Eccleston is excited to announce the release of her new holiday single ‘Long Nights’ out today on all digital streaming platforms. A cozy holiday song with a laid-back jazzy vibe, ‘Long Nights’ is brimming with nostalgia for family Christmases. Like many musicians last year, Anita took solace in music and writing songs to escape the pandemic, fighting through the noise and turmoil and trying to stay sane. Weeks and months passed and then suddenly, yet slowly it was Christmastime.

“I turned my thoughts inward, to my family and the many Christmases at the home where I grew up,” says Anita. “I saw in my mind’s eye the view of the Christmas lights out above my bedroom window as a child. I remembered gazing into the night sky at the stars, wondering if the bright one was the Christmas Star, the longest nights of the year, especially Christmas Eve, waiting for morning, excited and filled with wonder.”

Nostalgia inspired an idyllic remembrance, and the song poured out of her in a couple of days. And although she was unable to be home in Kamloops for Christmas after such a hard year, she was able to share the song with her family via a Christmas Day Zoom call. Anita then banded together with cellist Doug Gorkoff (Black Dog String Quartet, The Living, Plastic Acid Orchestra) to produce the recording at her home studio.

“When this thing started, everyone had to figure out how to record at home,” says Anita. “We made this recording in my basement, in a cozy room packed with books and musical instruments.”

Kris Ruston (Death Mountain Sound) mixed the track and Chris Gestrin (Public Alley 421) mastered it. And Anita partnered up with Patrick Collins (Alwaysfurther Films, This End Up, Peaches) to produce the music video to accompany the song. This year Anita is glad to give her song to the world, a present she hopes will warm hearts and stir up the enduring nostalgia the season brings, like a winter oasis, every year. And she is also finally planning a trip home.

‘Long Nights’ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more info, please visit anitaeccleston.com

However, a storm is brewing around their collaboration on “Barbie World,” shedding light on a murky controversy. Recently, Spice’s former confidante, now turned “ex best friend,” spilled the tea, leaking a string of damning texts. These messages reveal a rift between Spice and Nicki, alleging that Nicki sought an unfair share of Spice’s publishing rights for the song.

In one text, Spice lashes out, branding Nicki as “ungrateful and delusional,” suggesting that this dispute led to the demise of their friendship. The leaked conversation has set tongues wagging, particularly given the ex-bestie’s recent antics, including feuds with Drake and Lil Nas X.
