SAINTSENECA and SON LITTLE Both Kick Off New Tours
SON LITTLE Remix of SAINTSENECA’s “Happy Alone”
Debuting Today On URB.com
 
It all started when SON LITTLE released his debut single, Cross My Heart, on Anti-.  When labelmates SAINTSENECA heard the track, they were so taken by it that they wanted to meet the young artist/producer.   SON LITTLE was invited to a SAINTSENECA show in his hometown of Philadelphia and a friendship was born.
 
Out of that friendship came the SON LITTLE remix of SAINTSENECA’s song “Happy Alone.”  The track, which NPR recently listed as one of the new songs they “just can’t stop playing”, is a gentle indie-folk anthem.  In SON LITTLE’s reimagining, Zac Little’s plaintive vocal is wrapped up in gurgling synths, melancholy omnichord strums and dubbed-out drums.  You can hear the remix now on Urb.com .
 
At the same time, both SAINTSENECA and SON LITTLE launch national tours today. For SAINTSENECA, coming off a welcome wagon of ecstatic press for their Anti- debut, Dark Arc, this will be their biggest headlining tour to date.  SON LITTLE, whose latest single “Your Love Will Blow Me Away When My Heart Aches” has just been lauded by GQ as one of this summer’s 25 most essential songs, will be opening a string of dates for R&B maverick Kelis, as well as a handful of dates with Small Black, Lady, Streets Of Laredo, and Nightmares on Wax.
