South London riser Saint Joshua shares the vibing, infectious new single ‘Sweet Talk’.

Built around a swing heavy beat, warming synths and deep bass, the track balances its soul undertones with buoyant pop melodies. Joshua’s silky smooth vocal delivery shine as he glides above the danceable backdrop. Layering harmonies through the catchy chorus and riffing over latter part of the track, his elegant, warming, breathy tone and control perfect compliments the sultry, chilled nature of the soundscape.

Co-written by Saint Joshua and his long-time collaborator Pearse Macintyre, who also produced the track in the intimate setting of his home studio, the song showcases the duo’s creative synergy. The enchanting tune is a lyrical journey that transcends mere conversation, encouraging couples to turn their words into actions. With its vibrant beat and infectious energy, ‘Sweet Talk’ is a celebration of spontaneity and the joy of seizing the moment.

Talking about the track, Joshua explains: “I wanted to write a song about letting go of your inhibitions and feeling rewarded for jumping into the unknown. I am an overly cautious overthinker and I wanted this track as a motivator for those the same”

Making a name for his unique blend of pop, R&B, and singer-songwriter stylings, Saint Joshua has gained support across music press as well as BBC Radio 1. Packing out shows across the country, Joshua has also appeared across festival lineups including Latitude, Great Escape, Dot2Dot and Live At Leeds and shows no sign of slowing down. The new single highlights his potential as an artist, not bringing a commercial appeal but also a musical depth that glows brightly.
