Clockwork, Santino Le Saint: A few thoughts.
Aligning with the title, I've had this track on repeat like clockwork since I first played it.
Hearing it for the first time inspired me to write this little piece, to explore my audiophile tendencies beyond mere listening. I've always had a grand appreciation for music and dreamed of working or contributing to the field in some manner; a quarter life crisis and trying to make a living realistically stand as my hurdle. Clockwork really invigorated the need to express my feelings around this release.
I've been a Santino fan since 2018; Clockwork displays his artistic growth while also respecting his roots. I always describe his style as the perfect amalgamation of RnB and Rock, or RnB infused Rock. Clockwork perfectly captures that through a current, hard hitting beat (produced by himself) and distinct Tino guitars. Combined with his soulful, soothing voice, he never fails to convey his musical story and emote a response from the listener.
