Very excited about their newest material, British pop-punk outfit Saint Celebrity oozes energy, attitude and charisma, served through a pretty peculiar musical style. If punk tones and distorted guitars are indeed their home, the group also champions mellower tinges combined with witty and reflective lyricism. Debuting last year with ‘Shy’, the English talents have since released 4 singles, culminating with their latest record ‘Over U’. What’s more special is the fact that this trio of groovy Bristolians regularly collaborates with acclaimed producer Matt O’Grady (You Me At Six, Don Broco), in order to achieve an authentic artistic expression that’s not just luscious in its form, but also meaningful in its essence, guided by knowledge and experience.
In other words, these guys are serious. And it shows: everything is well curated, allowing Saint Celebrity to build a precise band identity. ‘Over U’ is particularly brilliant in this regard: described by the group as “an 80’s pop ballad [crashing] into punk rock”, the song is the perfect representation of what the project has always stood for, a playful dance between heaviness and melodious.
The listeners won’t be surprised then to discover a certain pop quality in ‘Over U’. Featuring a relatable topic and friendly melody, the record really flourishes thanks to the juxtaposition of a gritty, riff-laden punchy instrumental with evocative and engaging vocals, highlighting the song’s relationship-based theme with lightness and magnetism.
