SANTINO LE SAINT UNVEILS ACOUSTIC SINGLE 'WHISKY & WINE' AHEAD OF NEW EP 'NEW MATERIAL'

Brixton singer-songwriter Santino Le Saint has released his soul-stirring acoustic single 'whisky & wine,' offering a glimpse into his forthcoming EP 'new material.'

Co-written with Manuka, who also collaborated on 'i would if i could', 'whisky & wine' narrates the story of two individuals deeply in love but inherently distant. Drawing inspiration from the foundations of Country music in terms of storytelling and musicality, Santino showcases his mission of authenticity and vulnerability through stripped-back introspection.

Having grown up surrounded by South London's vibrant musical history, Santino Le Saint's life has always revolved around music. With his father's influence as a member of the pioneering rap group The 57th Dynasty, Santino developed a deep appreciation for the craft from an early age.

The 24-year-old artist's star has continued to rise since the release of his acclaimed debut album, 'Beautiful Disaster.' Known for his ability to blend R&B, Rock, Pop, and Trap, Santino has always aimed to release music that represents all facets of his artistic expression. Unafraid to push boundaries, he is driven by a passion for music that transcends genre limitations, be it Pop, Country, or Rock.

This summer, Santino will take the stage at the Cloud X Festival on August 20th at Beckenham Park in South London, alongside a lineup featuring BEWYN, Jaz Karis, Samm Henshaw, and more. As he takes the stage at the Cloud X Festival, Santino Le Saint solidifies his position as an artist to watch, ready to captivate audiences with his unique blend of genres and larger-than-life persona.

With the release of his acoustic single 'whisky & wine' and the upcoming EP 'new material,' Santino Le Saint showcases his raw and introspective side. Breaking free from genre conventions, he continues to explore new musical territories while staying true to his love for music and craftsmanship.
