Ethereal singer-songwriter Saint Avangeline (79.63 million total streams on Spotify, 2.3 million monthly Spotify listeners, 5.35 billion streams on TikTok) unveiled her new single + video, “Limerence.” Achingly beautiful and hauntingly cinematic, the track unfurls like a fever dream – both seductive and devastating. Bathing listeners in ghostly melodies and tender vocals, themes of deadly devotion and love entwined with ruin take center stage, capturing the intoxicating pull between desire and destruction.
Saint Avangeline says, “I feel hazy listening to it. Dreamlike state. Written in a bad time of my life, and so my subconscious wrote it. The lyrics were written at a Starbucks in 2022 – I thought I was writing a love song, but I was in an abusive relationship.”
Saint Avangeline will also be hitting the road this October, performing in Los Angeles on October 19 at The Roxy and New York City on October 26 at The Meadows.
About Saint Avangeline
Saint Avangeline is a lesbian, Atlanta-based independent artist who merges ethereal sounds with raw and unfiltered vocals, crafting a striking contrast that mirrors the depths of human emotion. Deeply rooted in her journey with mental health, domestic abuse and growing up queer, her songs offer an honest exploration of inner turmoil, rage, hope, and resilience. “Most songs are like a diary for me,” she explains. “Exploring my mental health struggles. Trauma, intense feelings. Like sucking the poison out.”
“Inspiration is fueled by an intense emotion that I cannot shake,” Saint Avangeline continues. “Lyrics are written in a stream of consciousness within a very short sitting, 20 minutes. The composition and vocals are not different, and usually are completed within a day. I have chromesthesia, and all of my songs work within a color palette in my head. These upcoming releases all have a nostalgic yearning, but in the order they are written, they go from this place of dreamland delusion, to starting to wake up to having a hazy recollection, to facing the future and having genuine change, eyes open.”
Over the course of her explosive career, Saint Avangeline has amassed millions of rabid fans, earning over 56 million streams on Spotify on her single “Lilith” off her debut album Gardener of Eden (2022), which also gained over 67 million streams. In 2023, she released the song “Every Girl Gets Her Wish” – a cover of the unreleased Lana Del Ray track, “Every Man Gets His Wish” – which has gained over 13 million streams. Following that, Saint Avangeline released her sophomore album, Inferno, in 2024. Now, she is excited to return with a string of new releases, with more on the way this year.
