SAINT! is an Arkansas-based independent pop artist making emotionally candid music with sharp hooks, dark humor, and absolutely no interest in pretending everything is fine. Pulling from alt-pop, synthpop, electronic music, and the sounds of the late ’90s and early 2000s, his music lives somewhere between dancing through the problem and finally admitting there is, in fact, a problem.

After stepping away from music for more than a decade, SAINT! returned with a completely different perspective on what being an artist meant to him. Instead of chasing perfection or trying to fit into somebody else’s version of pop, he began writing about the messier stuff: bad relationships, loneliness, self-worth, exhaustion, anger, stupid boys making stupid decisions, and the strange process of figuring yourself out after you thought you already had. His 2026 album Southern Hospitality introduced that unapologetic voice, followed by releases including the Bite Me EP and the bratty breakup anthem “Mute.”

Now SAINT! is entering his next era with disappointed now, arriving December 11, 2026. Built around nostalgia, VHS-era imagery, digital glitches, fading memories, and the uncomfortable difference between how the past felt and how we remember it, the album pushes his sound further into atmospheric synthpop and emotionally direct alternative pop. Songs like “We Sound Like Goodbye,” “When It’s Me,” “Fallback,” and “Ghosts In My Chest” move between heartbreak, isolation, acceptance, humor, and finally realizing that surviving something doesn't mean you have to pretend it didn't hurt.

At the center of it all is a pretty simple philosophy: pop music can be fun without being empty, and vulnerable without becoming delicate. SAINT! makes music for the weirdos, the overthinkers, the people who feel everything too loudly, and anyone who's ever needed a chorus loud enough to drown out their own thoughts for three minutes.

disappointed now arrives December 11, with new music, videos, physical releases, merch, and more rolling out throughout the year. Listen, watch, join The Homies, or get in touch below.
