Saint Barae Shares New Single ‘Boys!’
I am really enjoying his dreamy vocal delivery that is quite soothing and flows effortlessly atop a velvety instrumental of analogue synths and grooving 808 drums. Apart from his syrupy falsetto I am particularly fond of how the song has an overall sun-soaked atmosphere that reminds me of those chill days by the beach!
Boys! is a song about discovering one's sexuality and dealing with heartbreak but is wrapped around a feel-good production that has a captivating retro vibe and unforgettable pop hooks that keep me coming back to it over and over again. If you're into smooth pieces of electronic music with lush, retro synths, hypnotising vocals and an overall laid-back atmosphere, then you'll love Boys!. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Saint Barae said,
Boys! is a song I never thought I’d release because I think there’s an inherent shame attached to being queer and overtly sexual, and this song is about reclaiming the power of all the things about myself I’ve been made to feel ashamed of. The lyrics paint a picture of what it was like to discover my sexuality so deep in the closet - giving all my energy to men I knew could never love me unconditionally. But like a light in the dark there’s so much joy permeating through this music. I wanted to capture the spirit of the 70’s and the disco movement because it represents everything this song means. It’s a call for the disenfranchised to storm the dancefloor: glamorous, flamboyant, and most of all, free.
