Listen to “Santa Must Have Winter Tires,” Future Star’s new Christmas Single
X-Mas came early! Future Star and producer Andromeda Monk have gifted us a heartwarming, sleigh bell-driven single to soundtrack the holiday season.
Written about a snowy winter night in 2022, Future Star says this is “a song for all the shiftworkers and commuters who gambled on it being a mild winter and lost.”
