Sri Lankan-British singer, songwriter, and vocalist GILSKA (@gilskamusic) releases her rework of the Christmas classic “SANTA BABY,” giving the track a fresh, bold, and modern hyper-pop rework. Following acclaimed releases through 2025, which saw GILSKA reaffirm her place as one to watch with plays on national radio and press acclaim, the single ends the year on a high note.
GILSKA – “SANTA BABY” (Official Music Video)
Bursting with distorted, pixelated synths, heavy percussion, and glitch-cut vocal chops, drawing inspiration from the sounds of Two Hollis, Charli XCX, PinkPantheress, and Kim Petras, GILSKA reinvents “SANTA BABY,” putting her own stylistic stamp on the track. Sleek, loud, and unapologetically modern, this version transforms the original into a shimmering, high-energy hyper-pop experience.
In her own words, GILSKA explains, “I wanted to take something classic and turn it completely on its head. ‘SANTA BABY’ is iconic, but I felt it could shine in a new, chaotic, hyper-pop world, full of distorted synths, glitchy vocals, and energy that makes it feel alive in 2025.”
