Tommy Saint - billie jean (Single)
North London artist and producer Tommy Saint unveils his brand new single, ‘billie jean’, set to drop November 7th via 10K Projects.
The hotly tipped newcomer’s music is rooted in melodic alternative hip hop and alternative R&B, with his new single ‘billie jean’ exemplifying his sound. Fully self produced by Tommy Saint, ‘billie jean’ unfolds over a cinematic and dark beat, featuring a dusty R&B guitar groove that mingles with hook-filled vocals and stirring synth pads, as Tommy’s heartfelt lyrics glide across the track.
On the track, he says: “I was living in a new spot this Summer for a month and decided to make as much music as possible while I was there. This was the very first track I made; day 1. I had second thoughts about calling it billie jean, but why not pay homage to one of the best tracks of all time?”
This is the first single from Tommy Saint’s highly-anticipated forthcoming EP (due for release in ‘25), the follow-up to his self-produced debut EP, ‘SAINT SEASON’. The well received project has garnered over 4 million streams across platforms, with the lead single ‘Elixir’ having a huge viral moment on TikTok - a platform where Tommy shares content regularly to his nearly 30K followers.
His recent string of singles, such as ‘Take Your Time’ ‘Used To’ and ‘Killer’, are packed with dense and atmospheric instrumentation, led by Tommy's versatile range of raspy tones and deliveries.
Speaking on his influences he says: "My Dad played the violin and piano, and his Father was an organ player. I think that might be where my affinity for cinematic production comes from - I'm always drawn to big, eerie sounds that could easily cross over to film scores”.
Still coming of age as a performer, songwriter and producer, the young talent has enjoyed plenty of media support already from the likes of Complex UK, CLASH, Rebecca Judd, DJ Target, Tiffany Calver, Jack Saunders and DJ Semtex - as well picking up a long list of key Spotify playlist support, landing tracks on New Music Friday UK, Fresh Finds, Untitled and many more.
