North London’s Tommy Saint, a rising artist in the alternative hip hop and R&B scene, returns with his latest single, “billie jean”.
After the success of his debut EP ‘SAINT SEASON,’ which has accumulated over 4 million streams, Tommy Saint’s momentum continues with “billie jean,” a track that exemplifies his artistic evolution. Entirely self-produced, “billie jean” opens with a haunting R&B guitar groove layered over a dark, atmospheric beat. His vocals flow effortlessly across synth pads, creating a hypnotic blend of introspective lyrics and lush instrumentation. On choosing the title, Tommy shares:
“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?”
The release of “billie jean” hints at what fans can expect from his upcoming EP, set for release in 2025. Tommy’s signature sound, and a mix of cinematic production and emotional depth, has gained him recognition on TikTok and further afield. His previous single “Elixir” went viral on the platform, cementing him as an artist to watch in alternative hip-hop and R&B. Tommy’s musical influences trace back to his family. 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.”
Tommy Saint’s “billie jean” isn’t just a new single; it’s an invitation into his distinct, cinematic world. Keep an ear out for his forthcoming EP in 2025, and get ready to experience the next phase of this artist’s unique journey.
