Take a moment to step away from the complexity that accompanies many artists in today’s industry with flashy photoshoots and high media attention, and melt into the sounds of Black Saint. A trio that combines inspiration from sounds ranging from Hip-Hop to Jungle and Garage to Caribbean.
“Black represents the origin of our main music influences and in many ways reflects today’s modern culture, especially in regard to music. Thanks to the likes of Bob Marley and Soul II Soul, barriers in class, race, colour and creed have been broken down as we’ve all united in music.”
Saint? “That represents the desire for perfection in others and within ourselves. Even though that seems impossible, we’re driven by the sense that it’s attainable and we’re united as we strive towards it. Saints are also detached from self-seeking interests and can make a profound difference in the lives of others – and that’s something we’d like to achieve with our music.”
Hailing from London this collective of artists pull their inspiration from childhood memories of Notting Hill Carnivals and sounds of the early 90’s. This new extended Dub mix of their original “Could You Love Me?” certainly entails a darker and deeper addition to the slower paced and lighter hearted original. The added bass and selection of vocal chops gives the track a mysterious flip while switching between unique sounds not used by many artists. Their malleable range of sounds and instrumentals gives this collective its very own platform within music that gladly fails to fit one genre.
