ABOUT THE DUO:
Kelly is the story teller, Saint the beat maker – a shared love of 60’s music, ye ye girls and old Brigitte Bardot movies creates the foundation for their unique blend of indie pop – a mix of hip-hop and electronica with a strong retro vibe and catchy pop melodies telling stories of independence, female power and swagger. –
“I have always loved Kelly’s songwriting, the way she tells a story “, Saint says. “Her songs are like little mini movies, so vivid and full of “sturm und drang”.
The music I was doing at the time was very different – hard hitting electronic pop with tongue in cheek lyrics and tons of attitude, total party music. We always talked about making music together but nothing ever came of it.” The birth of Kelly + Saint came after Saint spent a weekend in upstate New York “breathing in the hippie vibes of Woodstock”. Back at her cabin Saint produced the track that became “Lover And. A Rebel”, a different sounding creature demanding a new approach and she immediately thought of Kelly. “I could hear her voice on it and I started imagining what story she could tell over this beat and I got excited”, Saint says. Saint sent Kelly the track together with some pictures of Brigitte Bardot for inspiration.
