We first came across Saint Jude via his debut single “Walk With U” taken from his self-titled debut EP on Slow Dance. Despite the track’s inherent introspection it immediately catches the attention walking a fine line between being dreamlike and unsettling. Its downtempo beat and distant vocals deliver a ghost-like quality and a sense of intentional imperfection.
To say that a lot has gone on in the world since that release would be an understatement, so it is perhaps not a surprise that the London-based artist’s output has taken a slight turn into the apocalyptical. Driven by subsequent lockdowns the feeling of isolation has been amped up. The almost spoken word delivery of the vocals creates an intentional sense of uneasiness and curiosity. All of this delivered over a steady stream of emotionally rich beats and samples
With a recently inked deal with American label Tmwrk Records we can’t wait to see what turn Saint Jude takes next.
