According to his MySpace bio, S A I N T is driven to make music in order to “...shed light on a world that’s sometimes dark.” Though the Booth newcomer’s latest single finds him Looking in the Mirror rather than at the world around him, the Orlando emcee’s determination to tackle weighty lyrical themes comes through loud and clear. Here, beatsmith Slantize‘s tense, ominous music-box instrumental sets the stage for a little self-examination. Looking back on a relationship gone sour, S A I N T laments that he was too proud to tell his ex how he felt before it was too late. An artist with a similarly uncompromising vision and left-of-center sensibility, The Saddest Part singer/songwriter Kyle DenMead takes center stage on the chorus, accenting his plaintive vocals with a hint of Auto-Tune. If you’re digging this reflective (pun intended) track, you can hear more on S A I N T’s Under the Surface mixtape, set to drop sometime this month.

First of all.. I like how different SAINT's voice is compared to most artists.. So right off the bat its different then anything else.. 2nd. Slantize's beat is rediculous! Its mellow but hits hard. and 3rd. Kyle's vocals really compliment the song. Def. a banger

I think this is worth 3.5, but I couldn't find it in my heart to give a full 4 or to round up. The Autotune kinda killed it for me. So sick of it. But this is an overall good track, ill roc it.

SAINT's lyrics were simple but effective and Kyle, aided by the undeniable forces of auto-tune sounds nice. He doesn't use it as a crutch instead uses it as a selective weapon, just in right proportions. I can deal with it! Production by Slantize impresses the most, which manages to sound both mellifluous and tough. Rotation fa sho!

I'm a little confused about his pic...is he warming his hands on a barbecue?

Anyway, more important this is everything I could have asked for in terms of an introduction to SAINT, he definitely doesn't sound like anyone else out there. I could have used a little more energy in his flow, but I'll def be checking for more from the man.

Not feelin it at all. Way to elementary. Knowing the industry, this will blow up like most other mediocre songs. Sorry for the harshness, but you gotta step it up

Very enjoyable record. Kyle always does his thing on the hook and SAINT comes correct. I look forward to more work from them both...
