Rapidly rising pop and R&B singer-songwriter Saint Joshua captivates listeners once again with the release of his highly anticipated single, “Nasty.” As the fourth offering from his forthcoming mixtape, Self-(En)titled, slated for release on November 15, this R&B-infused pop track promises to showcase the depth and versatility that has characterised Saint’s burgeoning career.

Known for his soulful lyrics and dynamic vocal prowess, Saint Joshua has crafted a deeply personal and eclectic sound that resonates with audiences across the globe. His music seamlessly blends various genres, drawing inspiration from an impressive array of influences, including Usher, Frank Ocean, Stevie Wonder, and Amy Winehouse. This unique amalgamation has positioned Saint as one of the most promising new artists in the contemporary music scene.

Self-(En)titled is a significant milestone for Saint, featuring nine compelling tracks that straddle the lines between R&B and pop. Produced by an impressive roster of longtime collaborators and co-writers—including Cashybear (Songer, Callum Beatie), Pears Macintyre, Jack Ducker (Warner), Geth, Edbl, and Blair Mackichan (Sia)—the mixtape represents a collaborative effort that showcases the full spectrum of Saint’s artistry.

Having already released pop-driven singles such as “Blah Blah Blah,” “Do U Ever Call,” and “Sweet Talk,” which have garnered substantial support from major national radio stations like Radio 1 and 1Xtra, “Nasty” diverges into deeper R&B territory, adding a rich emotional undertone to the mixtape. Other standout tracks include the harmony-laden “Waterfalls” and “Blessing,” as well as the vibe-driven “Next Flight to Paris.” This diverse range of sounds demonstrates Saint’s ability to connect with listeners through relatable storytelling and captivating melodies.

Saint Joshua has already amassed over 14.5 million streams, generating undeniable momentum that has attracted the attention of industry tastemakers. This recognition has translated into prime placements, propelling him into the mainstream music scene. With three successful EPs and numerous singles—including the acclaimed “Palo Santo”—Saint has received extensive radio rotation from major platforms like Radio 1 and Apple Music. His work has also been featured in prominent publications, including Wonderland, Clash, Rollacoaster, Man About Town, and Earmilk. Notably, Complex Magazine recognized him as one of the UK R&B artists to watch in 2023.

His growing popularity is further evidenced by his live performances, which have led to a sold-out debut London show in 2023, as well as a UK headline tour scheduled for February 2024. Recently, he showcased his talents on the BBC Introducing Futuretense show (September 19) and participated in a London Fashion Week event with Fame Magazine (September 16). Saint has also graced some of the UK’s most prestigious festivals, including Latitude, The Great Escape, Dot2Dot, and Live At Leeds. Additionally, he played his first show in Los Angeles in May of this year, with plans for an EU tour in January 2025 that will take him to Amsterdam and Paris, along with further shows and festivals planned for 2025.

As Saint Joshua prepares to unveil Self-(En)titled, “Nasty” serves as yet another bold introduction to what promises to be one of his most personal and accomplished works to date. With a sound that resonates on a global scale and a rising star on the music horizon, there is little doubt that Saint Joshua is poised to make an indelible mark on the music industry. His ability to blend R&B and pop influences, combined with his heartfelt storytelling, positions him as a significant artist to watch in the years to come.

Kingdom Kome drops new videos for Arepa Y Manteca LP

Published

on

Miami, FL Lyricist & Veteran MC Kingdom Kome goes to Colombia to fill his sweet tooth in a new double video and single(s) drop for “Mantecon” and “Arepa Mantecon.”  The video (was filmed by Franco Imagemaker and Edited by David Sakolsky of Gusto Gold Productions)was shot on location in Medellin, which is also the home turf of producer The Equation Beats.  

This is the first drop from the forthcoming full-length collaboration between the two entitled Arepa Y Manteca.  Named for a traditional Colombian delicacy, according to Argentinian born Kingdom Kome “we decided to keep the project real paisa, which means countryman.  This includes most of the album collaborators Colombian RawAjaxLo & CTraffik.”  

Other album guests will include Che Uno, Sunez Allah and ParaNoize and the result is ominous instrumentals and grimy beats clashing with disrespectful lyrics in two languages.

Watch the official video for “Mantecon/Arepa Mantecon” here: 

The genesis of this album grew out of a track that The Equation Beats produced for the duo project of Kingdom Kome & Che Uno known as Los Chicos Criollos featuring Crimeapple.

Based on the strength of that song, Kingdom Kome and The Equation Beats kept it moving and lo and behold Arepa Y Manteca is on the way!  In addition to the recent full-length drop D10S Sucio of Los Chicos Criollos, Kingdom Kome is also promoting Dirty Linens, a fully collaborative project with Brockton, MA’s G Fam Black.
