SAINt JHN Shares Stacked “While The World Was Burning” Tracklist
SAINt JHN was on the rise prior to the release of Iambek’s “Roses” remix. Following that, the Brooklyn artist exploded into a global sensation, to the point where his upcoming album While The World Was Burning stands among the year’s most anticipated drops left. Especially after JHN recently unveiled the stacked lineup of featured artists, a list that includes Kanye West, Future, DaBaby, J.I.D, Lil Uzi Vert, Kehlani, 6LACK, and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. Now, the entire tracklist has surfaced via Apple Music, providing a more thorough glimpse at the sequence to come.

While it’s difficult to discern anything concrete based on song titles alone, it seems as if a few joints will be, at the very least, loosely conceptual; consider the back to back tandem of “High School Reunion, Prom” with Lil Uzi Vert and “Monica Lewinsky, Election Year,” with DaBaby and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, both of which appear to be capturing a snapshot in time. “Quarantine Wifey” with J.I.D is unsurprisingly topical, and the gospel-ready language of “Pray For Me” seems perfect for Kanye West.
With the project set to arrive on November 30th, which is still weeks away, there’s still plenty of time for the hype to build. In the meantime, be sure to check out SAINt JHN’s new single “Sucks To Be You,” not to be confused with the 1999 Prozzäk single of the same name. From the look of it, the reflective track will be kicking off the entire project, so it will be interesting to see whether or not it will set a consistent tone. Check out the full list below, and sound off — are you excited for SAINt JHN’s While The World Was Burning?

Ronan Furlong finds renewal in the sea with latest release “Splitting The Ash”
“Splitting The Ash” opens with a distinctly Celtic riff before Ronan Furlong moves into an energetic song influenced by ideas of healing, rebirth, and spiritual renewal. The title and subject of the song are based on an ancient Irish ritual in which an ash tree is split open, giving the song a strong link to tradition, while its message is firmly rooted in the present: finding strength, renewal, and inspiration when life puts barriers in your way.
The sea is central to the track’s feeling, a symbol of challenge and regeneration. Furlong links his power to the resilience that can develop from exceeding physical boundaries. The song’s backstory lends that notion further weight, penned during a swim in the Irish Sea in January. The music’s context of creation gives it a particularly direct relationship with endurance and the willingness to push beyond discomfort.
“Splitting The Ash” ultimately feels life-affirming but never loses sight of struggle. The Celtic opening of the song gives an immediate sense of place, while its focus on renewal keeps the message open and universal. Ronan Furlong uses an old image of healing to remind us that difficult experiences can also be a source of strength, inspiration, and a renewed connection to life.

Kaaine offers a two-sided story on latest release “BROKEN HEARTED REMIX”
Kaaine‘s latest release, “BROKEN HEARTED REMIX” feat Leaquita B takes you right into the tangled waters of love, betrayal, pain, and the hard road to recovery when memories won’t let go. Instead, the remix broadens the emotional horizon, bringing male and female perspectives into the record and deepening the song’s sense of vulnerability, rather than just heartbreak from one side.
The lyric, “We was glad our paths finna change, our lifestyle rearranged,” captures the weight of the song’s emotion. That line is so much about being in a relationship where change feels right, but the song’s subject matter still keeps the emotional connection alive beneath that decision. The record draws you in because it captures that tension between moving on and being haunted by the past.
But the remix is a playground for Kaaine and Leaquita B to explore the aftermath of emotional damage without losing sight of the human feelings at its root. “BROKEN HEARTED REMIX” is not about pretending the pain didn’t happen. It’s about how hard it is to let go of memories. It is a hip-hop/R&B-based song with two perspectives that turns heartbreak into a conversation about feelings we all share.
