Morgan Saint Shares “15 Forever” Ahead Of Album Release.
In the lead up to the release of her upcoming album Out Of The Blue, rising alt-pop star Morgan Saint shares her most intimate, reflective and vulnerable song yet with ‘15 Forever’, as the New York singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist shows us the depth of her storytelling through her hauntingly beautiful vocals and uplifting pop melodies once again.
‘15 Forever’ and its emotive music video mark a poignant moment in Morgan Saint’s career with her heartfelt lyrics exploring themes of youth and the enduring impact of a friendship cut short through the unimaginable loss of her childhood friend, who tragically took their own life. Offering a glimpse into the artist’s personal growth and powerful emotional depth, the song captures a sense of loss and longing in a way that still feels raw all these years later.
Delving deeper, Morgan explains “When I was 15, my close friend committed suicide and it just rocked my world. In a flash, my universe cracked right open and I fell in deep. At the same time, I was struggling with my sexuality and gender identity. I was so young and contemplating life on an intense level. That period was a really pivotal moment in my life, and I wanted to make a song that reflected those experiences and emotions that are still very alive in me.”
Praised by music and fashion tastemakers alike, from Rolling Stone, Billboard, MTV and Complex to Vogue, i-D, Cosmopolitan and Harper’s Bazaar, Morgan Saint has collaborated with BEAM, performed live sessions for NPR and KXT, played at Lollapalooza, Life Is Beautiful Festival and Forecastle Festival, as well as supported high profile acts like BANKS and Goldfrapp.
Asserting herself as an outlier from the jump, she came out of Long Island in 2017 with her debut EP, 17 HERO, and maintained her momentum with follow up EP’s ALIEN (2018) and HELP (2020). As life changed, Morgan Saint absorbed the wisdom and experience gained through those experiences and filtered it through her music. However, she didn’t go about this process alone. For the first time, she collaborated with her wife, Carley Ridersleeve. Together, they powered every aspect of its creation—from producing the music to helming the creative, visuals, photos and artwork.
After racking up tens of millions of streams, a rapidly growing following and rising critical acclaim, Morgan Saint has released a series of independent singles, including her recent hits ‘Blazing’, ‘Hope You Find What You’re Looking For’ and ‘Kiss’. Now, Morgan gives us her most personal song yet in ‘15 Forever’, in the lead up to the release of her much-anticipated album, Out Of The Blue, on Friday 14 February.
With an ability to seamlessly weave introspective lyrics with captivating pop melodies, Morgan Saint has carved out a space for herself in the alt-pop scene, establishing herself as one of the most exciting and authentic voices in pop music today. It’s no wonder critics and fans alike are paying attention.
