Album Review: Morgan Saint Shows How Love Makes Us “Alien”
Morgan Saint’s Alien sounds beautifully out of this world. It is a cross between The Brunettes and Lorde; combining starry vocals with the delusions, divulges, and dreams of a woman trying to fit into her skin: through romance and rebellions.
Sonically, Alien feels like life in 1950’s Venus. Imagine it! Women in cherry print dresses “dolling up” for “bad boys” smoking though cigs and rocket-ships. Leather jackets lining up as hair pins tie ladies’ loose curls so they can carry their laser beams. Like a Riverdale episode, Morgan brings a glamorousness to seediness; observing the dark corners of humanity with a neon-lit eye. Thus, your heart feels swindled by sweetly battered tracks such as, “Sinner Boy,” “The Day I Die,” and “Momma Set Me Free.” Here you are dancing under moonlit, electro rhythms that pace and pierce like a piano melody.
Morgan Saint – On Fire (Visual)
The delicacy and precision of Alien is what enamors listeners because, by all means, synths and snares are always seen as escaping and fantastical. Yet, there is a sullen, nuanced nature to how Morgan uses her “digibeats” that makes her voice feel like a shooting star has decided not to fall after all. Her voice subtly and emotively builds to become contemplative. From “On Fire” to “Take Me Back,” you feel like you are taking the journey of a woman realizing two things: A) even the most in love partners can go from brazened intimacy to being alien to each other B) No matter how a relationship goes, you, eventually, learn how alien or “distant” you are to knowing what you need.
Morgan Saint’s Alien achieves two goals. First, it solidifies her as a distinct artist. She is visual in how she paints her lyrics, and such a gift leads to my second assertion. Morgan Saint is a smart artist; seeing her heart’s vulnerability as the platform for her art’s uniqueness. For More Information On Morgan Saint And To Buy Alien On October 5 Click Here.
