Jeshi's 'Saint or Sinner' Is A Sonic Collision of Contrasts That Demands To Be Heard

Jeshi, the London-based artist known for his conceptual approach to music, is back with a brand new single, 'Saint or Sinner', featuring the rising star Sainté. This track serves as a tantalising glimpse into his forthcoming sophomore album, 'Airbag Woke Me Up', set to drop on January 24th, 2025.

'Saint or Sinner' is a masterclass in sonic dynamism. The production, crafted by a team of talented individuals including JD, Reid, bb & RJ, is a captivating blend of futuristic soundscapes and hazy atmospheres. Sainté's contribution adds another layer of depth to this already mesmerizing musical vortex.

Jeshi's upcoming album, 'Airbag Woke Me Up', promises to be an electrifying journey through the artist's quest for dynamism and his relentless pursuit of feeling truly alive. This sentiment, which has always been at the heart of his artistry, is more palpable than ever on this new record.

The album is a collection of moments captured in song, designed to spark reactions and ignite conversations. Influenced by his exhilarating live performances, Jeshi, along with his collaborators, navigate through a range of moods and tempos with an almost reckless abandon. “I want to make things that have intent and feel like statements", Jeshi declares. His versatile vocals act as the thread that weaves this sonic tapestry together. “On Universal Credit, my voice was used in one way, whereas on this it’s used in ten ways", he explains.

'Saint or Sinner' perfectly encapsulates the contrasting elements that Jeshi explores in his music. The track's title hints at this duality, which is further emphasized by a dramatic shift in mood halfway through. Eerie bass keyboards pull the listener into a darker, more introspective soundscape.

Speaking about the new single, Jeshi shares, “‘Saint or Sinner’ is really about contrast and the lows inside of the highs we’ve been blessed with. Was sick linking up with Sainte for this we been fans of each other for a minute so good to have him on the album. That switch at the end still gets me every time…”

'Saint or Sinner' follows the release of 'Hurricane', another captivating track featuring the haunting vocals of London singer-songwriter LEILAH. Accompanied by a mind-bending visual from The Uncanny, "Hurricane" delves into the chaos of life and the struggle to find control amidst the mayhem.

With 'Airbag Woke Me Up' on the horizon, Jeshi is poised to deliver an album that pushes boundaries and challenges expectations. If 'Saint or Sinner' is anything to go by, we're in for a truly exhilarating ride.
