Saint Harison opens his debut EP lost a friend by perfectly encapsulating the anxiety of an overthinker as he nervously asks "why didn't you call???" atop a tender, keys-driven instrumental. The Southampton artist's unmatched vocal versatility is on full display throughout the seven-song project.
He might be at his best when it's just his voice and a piano — like on the opener, along with the gospel-infused "james (bleeding alone)" and "more weed, less friends" — but Harison lives just as confidently in his falsetto strutting over R&B snares and hi-hats on "ego talkin'" and "homies" as Tiana Major9 joins him to contemplate the real-world consequences of everyone's favourite "friends to lovers" trope before he drops expertly into a delicate chest voice on the title track.
