SAINt JHN Unveils Stunning Visual for “Circles” in Barcelona

October 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today, SAINt JHN premiered a striking music video for his previously released single, “Circles.” The video, directed by Alex Gargot, captures the song’s raw vulnerability and emotional depth. Filmed in Barcelona, Spain, it is a visual and sonic masterpiece that enchants audiences with its cinematic storytelling and compelling imagery.

In the video, SAINt JHN embodies a unique duality of vulnerability and strength, navigating surreal, circular compositions that reflect his emotional journey. The narrative explores a toxic relationship that may not be with a person but rather with fame itself. As he grapples with the overwhelming attention from the media, the singer-songwriter portrays a fragile yet entertaining state of being.

The release of “Circles” follows the alternative pop single “Humble,” showcasing SAINt JHN’s ability to blend multiple genres, including hip-hop, rock, and R&B. His critically acclaimed album, While the World Was Burning, featured collaborations with stars like Kanye West, Future, and Kehlani, and included the global hit “Roses (Remix),” which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. As he continues to push artistic boundaries, SAINt JHN reinforces his position as a multifaceted talent in the music industry.

SAINt JHN Laps Around In “Circles” On New Single: Stream

August 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

SAINt JHN is a very vibrant and versatile artist, and it seems like this new era for him will further fuse R&B and alternative rock elements. Moreover, this new single “Circles” is a love-lorn, guitar-led jam that displays a lot of vocal passion, dramatic instrumentation, and desperate themes of seeking to fit into a relationship and getting out of repetitious cycles. From what the cover art for this new song and that of the Guyanese-New Yorker’s previous single “Humble” indicate, these cuts will be on the new project COLLECTION II: FAKE TEARS FROM A POPSTAR.

Back to “Circles,” though, SAINt JHN builds a pretty powerful and bombastic cut thanks to the cavernous and grand production techniques that he applies to each element of the song. With these more prolific releases, fans hope that this new era manifests into this full-length sooner rather than later. He’s still been busy in recent months, assisting on Mez’s The Loading EP and contributing a Swizz Beatz, BIA, and Fivio Foreign collab to the Godfather Of Harlem soundtrack, “Street Opera.”

With all this in mind, fans of the “You Laughed At Me” creative are foaming at the mouth, and if we can expect this level of quality from his next move, he’ll have a killer year.

Post Malone Settled The Lawsuit Over His No. 1 Song ‘Circles’ Just Before The Trail Was Set To Start

March 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Post Malone has officially settled the lawsuit over his song “Circles,” just as it was supposed to go to trial yesterday (March 21). Back in 2019, another musician, Tyler Armes, claimed that he wrote most of the No. 1 hit, including the melody. However, he was only offered five percent in publishing royalties, per The Guardian.

“I was beside him giving input – I was not just someone hanging out in the room,” Armes said. He also added that any negotiations for a higher rate were disregarded by Malone’s manager and team.

The following year, he officially sued the rapper, noting that he wanted proper credit as a co-writer and to receive past and future royalties. Malone wound up countersuing.

“It is an age-old story in the music business that when a song earns the type of runaway success that ‘Circles’ has garnered, an individual will come out of the woodwork, falsely claim to take credit for the song, and demand unwarranted and unearned windfall profits from the song,” Malone’s filing said.

The last development in the case found Judge Otis D. Wright refusing to dismiss the case last year, citing that a jury might be able to find that Armes “shared equal control in the session, making nonhierarchical contributions to a unitary whole.”

Official terms of Malone and Armes’ settlement are undisclosed at this moment.
