ROE’s debut Christmas single, Christmas Once Again, is a heartfelt exploration of grief during the holidays, capturing the bittersweet weight of missing loved ones at the most nostalgic time of year. True to her signature style, ROE weaves piercingly honest lyrics with an irresistible indie-pop charm, creating a track that’s both tender and hauntingly memorable. This is Christmas music with a soul-stirring edge—poignant, personal, and unmistakably ROE.
ROE is indie-pop and folk songwriter Roisin Donald from Derry. One of Northern Ireland’s most celebrated and recognisable young songwriters, ROE has been carving a path through the music industry since she appeared on Glastonbury’s BBC Introducing Stage aged just 18, which led her on to perform across Europe, North America, India and beyond; supporting local legends Snow Patrol on their 2018/19 UK Arena Tour.
After taking a break throughout 2023, ROE is back in 2024 with a new collection of songs and a fresh outlook on songwriting, performing, and her place in the industry. Staunchly independent, ROE has achieved all that she has without any label or publishing involvement, rather focussing on building a small and dedicated team. Her recent singles of 2024, include ‘Cinema’, ‘Autopilot’, ‘Caravan’ and ‘Swimming Pool’ which have recieved support from Spotify, BBC, 2FM, Amazing Radio, 98FM, Today FM and more.
