New music: Saint Saviour - Reasons

Everyone from Neil Tennant to him from Hurts are fans of this singer's incredible voice

You may have heard Saint Saviour's incredible voice ? an alluring mix of Sinead O'Connor and Kate Bush ? on the last Groove Armada album, Black Light. Or perhaps you saw the singer, real name Becky Jones, on their accompanying tour or when she supported Hurts after singer Theo Hutchcraft was so taken by her at last year's Little Noise Sessions that he personally asked her to go on the road with them. Oh, and Neil Tennant is a bit of a fan too. Following an appearance at SXSW in support of Sound It Out, a documentary by Jeanie Finlay about the last remaining independent record shop in Jones' hometown of Teeside (she also makes an appearance), Jones has returned to music with the EP, Anatomy. Below is an exclusive first showing of the video for Reasons, a fragile piano ballad that showcases that undulating voice to haunting effect. The video, filmed mainly in a working men's club in Stockton-on-Tees, isn't exactly a barrel of laughs so be warned.

Anatomy is available now from here.
