Amazon Music today releases a beautifully crafted music video to accompany Jorja Smith's Amazon Original, a cover of the East 17 classic "Stay Another Day". The video is available on YouTube now.

BRIT Award winner Jorja's "Stay Another Day" is a stunning interpretation of the 90's classic, with her renowned vocals front and centre, and the track has been climbing the Official Singles Chart each week since its release. The video, created by leading London based production company BlinkInk, a creative team with countless classic John Lewis adverts under their belts, and animation director/designer Jack Brown, follows a lonely fox navigating the big city and all its darkness, as it's eventually drawn by Jorja's voice to the brighter side of city life. The video's festive setting is shown through lights, decorations and snow, in a beautiful, classic animation style.

Jorja Smith comments, "I had a lot of fun putting my own unique spin on this timeless Christmas classic... Hope you all enjoy it!"

Jack Brown, director of BlinkInk adds, "'Stay Another Day' has been totally transformed by Jorja's take and I think the lyrics have a whole new sense of meaning. For the music video I wanted it to have a lovely handmade, classical look, while also being unexpected and giving the viewer the feeling of being a ghost of the Christmas past, floating through the video."

Additional festive tracks are available to Amazon Music listeners now, to make the holiday season brighter. "You're Christmas To Me" by Sam Ryder, BRIT Nominee and the most successful British breakthrough artist of 2022 and "Christmas Without You" by Anne-Marie, 10-time BRIT Award Nominee and pop sensation will also feature in Prime Video's heartwarming original comedy film, Your Christmas Or Mine 2.
