Saint Black breaks the silence with “Just Tell Me”

Saint Black is asking us to step back and listen to “Just Tell Me,” watching the single skyrocket to stardom levels in other areas. This emotionally raw track is as gritty as it is buttery, a raw confession cushioned in a silky, atmospheric soundscape. The inclusion of Ellena, who is featuring for the first time as an artist with Saint Black on the song. Her backing vocals, meanwhile, are impeccably gorgeous, adding soulful lushness to balance and highlight the lead. She’s not just singing harmonies but singing the unspoken. 

“Just Tell Me” shows the maturity of Saint Black’s development as a songwriter and an artist who isn’t afraid to get vulnerable. It is a song for late-night thinkers, over-analyzers, and the emotionally real. This music travels with purpose and hangs in the air long after the last note sounds. Saint Black plunges you into this hard-to-visit, impossible-to-forget place popular to many of us, where the words are few and the feelings are many. Its lyrics tap into the frustration of not knowing where one stands with another person, revealing the power and helplessness in trying to understand silence. It’s an anthem for anyone who has ever asked for honesty and been answered with ambiguity.

 “Just Tell Me,”  born out of a raw chat with a friend caught in the emotional tug-of-war of a breakup and taking form as Saint Black began to reflect on her own experiences, dives headfirst into the aching space between love and loss and communication and confusion. It is a song that not only tells a story but carries it. One thing we know for sure is that Saint Black just told us something for real, and we’re all ears.
