Speaking about the single, ugly ozo said: 

"Under a dim light on a frosty winter evening, the studio felt like Christmas.

"I started playing Santa Baby, and a few hours and a couple of wines later, our cover was born. 

“It’s my all time favourite Christmas song, and my producer Macks and I gave it a signature ugly ozo twist, recording the intro on a single mic above a drum kit before diving into a rock and roll guitar solo. It's ugly ozo meets Eartha Kitt"

ugly ozo - the stage name of Jess Baker - released their debut EP in October after becoming the first artist signed to Rex Recs in May.

ugly ozo also featured as one of Isle of Wight Radio's Emerging Artists.
