Celeste returns with the release of brand new single, "This Is Who I Am"

BRIT Award-winner and Oscar nominee Celeste has made her comeback with the release of her new single, "This Is Who I Am".

"This Is Who I Am" is less of a reintroduction to Celeste’s music and more an act of self-actualisation, which sees her step with purpose into her new era. The track is the title song for Sky’s new series The Day of the Jackal. An adaptation of the Frederick Forsyth novel of the same name, the track was selected for the show’s opening credits, handpicked by Eddie Redmayne, who plays the titular assassin, and his co-star Lashana Lynch.

Celeste cites her most recent work on Steve McQueen’s upcoming World War II drama Blitz as the most fulfilling, marking the first time the artist has acted on screen.

“Meeting Steve McQueen was one of the most inspiring and significant moments of my life in the last two years,” says Celeste. Witnessing the director’s uncompromising attention to detail on set, she explains, helped reaffirm her belief in artistic intuition, aligning with the core statement of "This Is Who I Am" and her subsequent approach to writing music, reinstalling her confidence and sense of navigation.

"This Is Who I Am" is out now.
