Rising indie-pop sensation Kiki Kramer is delivering a holiday treat with her eerie yet enchanting rendition of the Christmas classic, “White Christmas.” Streaming everywhere today, this “spooky Christmas gem” offers fans a unique twist on holiday cheer. With the official music video—described as “The Ring filmed in a technicolor dollhouse”—released last week, Kramer continues to cement her place as a bold, genre-bending artist.
“I love the holiday season and wanted to do something for my young fans—a peculiar musical ornament to hang on their tree,” Kiki shared upon the video’s release. True to her words, the track blends the warm nostalgia of the beloved song with her signature offbeat aesthetic, creating a festive yet unconventional listening experience.
Kiki Kramer first captivated listeners with her debut single, “Relevant,” earlier this fall via Suretone Records. The song made waves on platforms like Spotify’s “Fresh Finds Pop” and Apple Music’s “New in Alternative,” while its Marc Klasfeld-directed music video racked up over 200,000 views. The success of “Relevant” has showcased Kramer’s ability to balance poignant songwriting with striking visuals, paving the way for the release of “White Christmas.”
For Kramer, visuals and sound go hand in hand. Drawing from eclectic influences such as Japanese anime, horror films, BDSM culture, and Rococo art, her music videos are as much a reflection of her artistic identity as her songs. Her cover of “White Christmas” is no exception, blending whimsy with a haunting edge that aligns with her commitment to crafting art that surprises and delights.
Kramer’s influences include Fiona Apple, Marina and the Diamonds, Melanie Martinez, and Lana Del Rey. These inspirations are evident in her ability to merge introspection with theatricality, creating pop music that’s both accessible and avant-garde.
A Northern California native, Kramer studies drama at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts before leaving to pursue music full-time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Embracing a grassroots approach, she immersed herself in New York City nightlife, working as a club promoter and host while curating live music events to perform her songs.
Signed to Suretone Records and Suretone Management last year, Kramer is now preparing to release a series of singles ahead of her debut album, set for release in Spring 2025. With her distinct style and ambitious vision, Kramer continues to redefine pop music, embracing what she calls the “oxymorons of art and life.”
As fans dance to her songs in clubs and cry over heartbreak to the same tracks, Kramer’s philosophy of finding “beauty in the negative spaces” shines through. With “White Christmas” setting the tone for the holiday season and the anticipation building for her debut album, Kramer is an artist to watch closely in 2025.
