French crooner Saint DX releases his debut EP ‘SDX’ via Because Music
Saint DX
Debut EP ‘SDX’ Out Now
Praise for Saint DX
“Polished with elegant synth patterns and a soulful bass motif, “Xphanie” is a slow-burning hit.” The Line Of Best Fit
“Matching the eroticism of Prince and his languid machine funk to a super smooth, neo-soul infatuated vocal.” Clash
Saint DX embodies the modern-day crooner; the French singer, writer and producer’s style reflects an obsession with love and a heightened emotional sensitivity. Throughout his debut EP ‘SDX’ we discover Saint DX’s in a languid and seductive mood.
Raised as a Buddhist by his parents, and deeply influenced by the soundtrack to The Big Blue, Saint DX (Aurélien Hamm) sings about the fragility and beauty of our romances, and how our daily routines can reopen emotional wounds. Switching between French and English, groovy basslines and ethereal pads, autotuned vocals and untreated ones, he cites Sade and Mylène Farmer as major influences, as well as Better Person, Kanye West and even Prince.
Since 2018 he’s released three singles (‘Regrets’, ‘First Fantasy’ and ‘I Still Care’), toured with Charlotte Gainsbourg and even opened for her on a number of occasions. He’s now offering “SDX”, a 9-track EP released through Cracki Records/Because Music.
