Saint Joshua returns to the spotlight with “Nasty/(En)amor,” an alternative R&B hit that’s as experimental as it is enticing. As he preps for the release of his mixtape, Self-(En)titled, on November 15th, fans are treated to a fresh taste of his ever-evolving artistry. Known for his lush, neo-soul-inspired sound, Saint Joshua adds a touch of afro-beat undertones to this track, creating an experience that’s both soulful and refreshingly modern.
The song opens with Saint Joshua’s signature layered synths and deep, sub-heavy bass. It’s a soundscape that immediately draws listeners in, making them feel as though they’re floating through clouds of rhythm. His voice, smooth as velvet, weaves through the beats, carrying the sultry lyrics effortlessly. The mood is sensual yet introspective, hinting at the themes of love and desire that permeate the track. It’s the kind of song you can’t just listen to once—you’re compelled to hit repeat to catch every nuance.
About halfway in, Saint Joshua takes us by surprise with a genre-bending shift. The synth-heavy production fades, giving way to a swaying, guitar-driven interlude that feels almost hypnotic. This change recalls the creative audacity of artists like Frank Ocean, adding a new dimension to the track. It’s the kind of musical risk that Saint Joshua has become known for—unexpected, but executed with finesse.
Over the past few years, Saint Joshua has become a name to watch in the UK’s pop and R&B scenes. Inspired by greats like Usher, Stevie Wonder, and Amy Winehouse, he’s built a reputation for tracks that are both emotionally rich and melodically complex. His past hits, including “Sweet Talk” and “Do U Ever Call,” showcase his versatility, but “Nasty/(En)amor” might be his most ambitious release yet.
If “Nasty/(En)amor” is any indication, Self-(En)titled, promises to be a journey of sound and soul. Saint Joshua is pushing boundaries and proving that he’s more than just a rising star—he’s an artist with a vision. And as he blends pop, R&B, and alternative sounds, he’s shaping a sound that’s distinctly his own, paving the way for an exciting future in music.
