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?

Pete Miller Explores Duality on “The Dazzling Kimberly”
Pete Miller’s ‘The Dazzling Kimberly’ is a profound exploration of the intricacies of human emotion and the complexity of our relationships. Through its narrative, the song delves deep into the heart of love, loss, and the paths we choose in life. The protagonist’s journey of self-reflection and contemplation, sparked by the enigmatic Kimberly, serves as a mirror to our own experiences with love and the often painful lessons that come with it.
“The Dazzling Kimberly” is a poignant song that narrates the story of two twins embroiled in conflict, who are brought together and eventually reconciled by their interactions with a mystical figure named Kimberly. This song, with its rich narrative and allusions, particularly to the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, offers a layered exploration of themes such as rivalry, redemption, and the ephemeral nature of life and relationships.
The song opens with a vivid depiction of one twin’s sense of guilt and moral ambiguity, contrasting his own cunning with his twin’s straightforward approach. This internal conflict sets the stage for the entrance of Kimberly, a figure whose very existence seems otherworldly, serving as a catalyst for change and reflection in the twins’ lives.
Kimberly, characterized by her wisdom and almost supernatural presence, challenges the narrator to reconsider his values, suggesting that victories won through cunning lack the essence of true love and fulfillment. Her influence is profound, guiding the twins towards a reconciliation that seemed impossible before her intervention.
The chorus of the song encapsulates the narrator’s deep yearning and the transformative impact Kimberly has had on his life. It questions the value of freedom and the significance of their bond, highlighting the impermanence of life through the metaphor of fading air and shifting sands.
The resolution of the twins’ conflict, prompted by Kimberly’s disappearance (or passing), symbolizes a newfound maturity and understanding. The once-contentious land becomes a symbol of their shared heritage and reconciliation, underscoring the message that love and unity are more valuable than any material possession or victory.
The allusion to Jacob and Esau provides a biblical backdrop to this tale of rivalry and reconciliation, enriching the narrative with layers of meaning and moral questioning. Just as Jacob and Esau reconcile after years of conflict, so do the twins, guided by the ethereal and loving presence of Kimberly.
The song’s melancholic yet hopeful tone captures the duality of human experience—the longing for what was and the hope for what could be. The moods and themes you’ve described, from melancholy and contemplation to love, regret, and redemption, underscore the universal struggle with fate and the desire for moral clarity and closure.
For further thematic exploration, the works of Leonard Cohen, particularly for their spiritual and existential undertones, or the poetic narratives of Bob Dylan, might resonate with the themes of “The Dazzling Kimberly.” Both artists adeptly weave complex human emotions with broader philosophical and spiritual questions, much like Pete Miller does in this song.
