SAINt JHN’s New Album Features Are Insane

SAINt JHN had one of the most random, yet deserved, breakout stories of the year. Though he has been bubbling on the scene as one of the most proven, talented songwriters in the business, the 34-year-old artist hadn’t tapped fully into the mainstream pop market, which kept him as an “underground” favorite for years. 

With the tremendous success of “Roses” in 2020, a four-year-old song, SAINt JHN is finally getting the recognition that he deserves.

He has been teasing the release of his new album While The World Was Burning, abbreviated to WTWWB for short, for the last few weeks. The album was expected to release this month but, unfortunately, it was pushed back so SAINt JHN could lay down the finishing touches. Considering the fact that he’s been chilling regularly with Kanye West in Atlanta, it made sense that he would want to delay the album a bit to throw the Chicago legend on there.

Finally, it looks like SAINt JHN has revealed the full list of features on his upcoming album and, honestly, it’s looking like it has the potential to become an album of the year candidate.

“I had no intention on making this collection,” reveals the artist, who was likely pushed to drop a full-length project after “Roses” went 67-times platinum around the world. “Thank you to all the people that contributed their art. Kanye West, Lil Uzi Vert, JID, DaBaby, A Boogie, Future, 6LACK, Kehlani. And thank you to all the people that said no! The struggle is part of the process! We made this While The World Was Burning.”

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
