Golden Hour, Vol. 1 β Santino Le Saint
A delicious build-up, but an even tastier release π π₯
Santino Le Saint every time β how many genres you want? Yes.
Groovy + hard hitting beats, dirty guitars mixed with emotive ones, peanut butter vocals and cutting lyrics. The Tino team continues to raise the bar every time, constantly reaching new highs even while singing about lows.
All of the influences and experimentations combine so well here. The nods to earlier works through either lyrical references or resembling compositions capture the essence of Santino Le Saint while exploring new realms.
Thereβs a song for every mood here β brooding, headbanging like a rockstar or shaking that π Yes, even with the poignant lyrical content.
What a privilege to witness the progression in artistry β hearing the potential being reached all over from the vocals, production, lyrics, subject matter. All of this was present earlier, but the ongoing development leaves me awestruck.
I could divulge my thoughts and feelings on every track, but there are not enough words so hereβs a few honorary mentions:
β’ Dr. Knockout π₯ and Just Drive with the callbacks β a renegade lifestyle and of course a bullet π« with my name on it.
β’ Heart Attack β comparable to the likes of a big MJ-Weeknd number, but Santino style π Absolutely bodied it and made it your own. So nasty π₯΅ Yβall went absolutely feral on this one.
β’ I Already Know β I thought I had found my wedding song, but now I have found it.
This is not an album that can sit in the background while completing other tasks - it demands undivided attention. Iβve failed to get on with tasks while listening to it π€£
Congratulations to all the collaborators on an outstanding piece of work. You should all be so proud and inspired to keep on going.
