New Music: SAINT KID

LA-based New Yorker SAINT KID might be a new name to most, but this talent has already been working on his sound for some time.

Viral hit ‘Closure’ (created alongside close friend Rowan Drake) was released back in 2020, and has already picked up more than 375k streams on Spotify alone.

“We all struggle at some point with finding closure. It can feel scary and as if we are trapped in our past but as time goes on and we separate ourselves from the issue we start having clarity and eventually everything is fine again.” – Rowan Drake

The two musicians collaborated on more projects, and their success was notable. Drake went on to build a loyal following across social media, while SAINT released more acclaimed singles – before then going on a short hiatus. Now he’s back with a sensational new song, entitled ‘GARDEN’.

“A year ago, I moved out to LA, stopped releasing music and worked on my myself and my sound. Garden is my first single in a long time but is just the beginning.” – SAINT KID

With an impressive style of songwriting that feels intense and dark, but also fragile and emotive, SAINT KID might well be one of the year’s biggest breakout stars.

Rowan Drake – Elephant In The Room

Rising American singer and songwriter Rowan Drake returns today with an impressive new single called ‘Elephant In The Room’.

Prior to its official release, the song’s presence on social media had garnered more than five million views through TikTok and Instagram, making it one of Drake’s most hyped and anticipated singles to date.

Inspired by a relationship breakdown, ‘Elephant In The Room’ presents listeners with a refreshingly raw and emotionally charged sound. Elaborating further on the track, Drake explains:

“‘Elephant In The Room’ represents the neglect I showed to my partner in my relationship. It’s the feeling of holding on so tightly to something you care about that it suffocates. Turning your blinders on to everything that has been lost in hopes it will just disappear. The elephant in the room is the fact that we’d reached our expiration date but I wasn’t willing to admit that in my case. The song started with me playing a strange tuning on my guitar in my empty apartment and hearing the verse melody. The emotion was born and everything seemed to just fall into place afterwards. It’s been beautiful to see the song resonate in the way it has.”
