Stop This Flame - The Blessed Madonna Remix

In late 2019, Celeste received the Brits' Rising Star Award, previously the Critics' Choice gong. (Previous winners include Adele, Florence + The Machine, Ellie Goulding and Sam Smith). She also won BBC Music's prestigious Sound of 2020 poll.

This euphoric piano-driven stomper finds Celeste crooning about her unwavering love for some person or some dream. "In essence, 'Stop This Flame' is a song about seeing it through to the end," she explained. "Whether it's about not letting go of love, not letting go of a dream or stridently coming through some form of adversity. The song has always evoked those feelings within me."

Celeste wrote the song with Los Angeles-based songwriter Jamie Hartman, whose other credits include Rag'n'Bone Man's "Human" and Lewis Capaldi's "Hold Me While You Wait." Hartman also produced the track with John Hill (Shakira, Kesha).
