Rising pop and R&B Breakout Saint Joshua returns with ‘ to the spotlight with ‘Nasty/(En)amor’, the latest single from his highly anticipated mixtape, Self-(En)titled, set for release on November 15th.
A vibrant welling alternative-R&B sweller that brings together elements of neo-soul, pop and gentle afro undertones through the intricately arranged beats. Building a rich and lush soundscapes of pillowy, intricately arrange synths and deep sub heavy bass for the sultry lyricism and silky smooth vocal delivery of Joshua, the track manages to feel commercially accessible whilst carrying a rich sense of experimental musicality through its ever evolving instrumentation.
At the two minute mark, this sense of experimentation and musical freedom is exemplified as the track shifts from it’s synth heavy arrangement, to a lulling, swaying backdrop of wobbling synth heavy guitar. Comparable to the likes of Frank Ocean, the track is a vibrant example of Saint Joshua’s capabilities as an artist.
