Morgan Saint bares her soul on 15 Forever, the most gut-punchingly vulnerable track of her career to date. The rising alt-pop phenom lays her storytelling cards on the table, pairing hauntingly ethereal vocals with scintillating pop melodies that hit like a bittersweet summer memory. Ahead of her much-anticipated album Out of the Blue, the New York singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist proves once again that she’s a force to be reckoned with.
“When I was 15, my close friend committed suicide and it just rocked my world. In a flash, my universe cracked right open and I fell in deep. At the same time, I was struggling with my sexuality and gender identity. I was so young and contemplating life on an intense level. That period was a really pivotal moment in my life, and I wanted to make a song that reflected those experiences and emotions that are still very alive in me.” – Morgan Saint
The track’s raw lyrics unravel a devastating story of youth interrupted, chronicling the loss of a childhood friend to suicide. It’s as if Saint is peeling back layers of her own heartache, exposing the weight of a friendship frozen in time. The accompanying music video is just as stirring—visually poetic and devastating in its intimacy, it mirrors the song’s exploration of grief, nostalgia, and the echoes of a life cut tragically short. With 15 Forever, Saint doesn’t just invite us into her world; she makes us feel every ache, every memory, every ghost.
After racking up tens of millions of streams, a rapidly growing following and rising critical acclaim, Morgan Saint has released a series of independent singles, including her recent hits ‘Blazing’, ‘Hope You Find What You’re Looking For’ and ‘Kiss’. ’15 Forever’, is the latest track off Saint’s much-anticipated album, Out Of The Blue, which will be released on 14 February 2025.
Morgan Saint burst out of Long Island in 2017 with her debut EP, 17 HERO, staking a claim as a singular voice in alt-pop. She doubled down on that promise with the atmospheric ALIEN (2018) and the gut-punch honesty of HELP (2020). But life shifts, and so does the music. With each release, Saint has shaped her sound into something that feels like both armour and confession, filtering the hard-won wisdom of her experiences into melodies that linger like smoke.
For her latest work, though, Saint didn’t go it alone. For the first time, her wife, Carley Ridersleeve, stepped into the creative process as a collaborator. Together, they built every piece of this world from the ground up—the music, the visuals, the artwork, even the photography.
