Newly crowned UK X-Factor winner Louisa Johnson has released her gospel tinged winner’s single Forever Young just in time to be in contention for the highly sought after Christmas #1 slot.

Although the Bob Dylan remake is not quite as pop mainstream as past winners singles have been, Forever Young is a grower and it most definitely delivers a signal that a phenomenal new talent is on the rise. What a vocal performance for a seventeen year old. Leona Lewis and Whitney Houston vibes everywhere!

Watch out world this kid’s one to look out for in the future. #checkitout

May you grow up to be righteous / May you grow up to be true / May you always know the truth / And see the lights surrounding you / May you always be courageous / Stand upright and be strong / May you stay forever young
