It feels like magic. One listen to Morgan Saint's warm delivery, dreamy instrumentation, and lush lyrical poetry, and you're somewhere else. Opening up that world, the New York songstress releases her debut EP, 17 Hero [Epic Records], on Friday October 13, 2017.

Since its release last month, "You" has already cracked 500K Spotify streams and counting in addition to breaking in a big way down under on Australia's Triple J-famous for launching Lorde. Meanwhile, the music video made its debut on Pigeons and Planes who raved, "Saint presents the song's honest lyrics with a memorable vocal performance that very much lives up to the 'moody pop' description she gives her music." Widespread acclaim continues to pour in from tastemakers such as TIME, Just Jared, Zane Lowe, Office Magazine, Fashion Unfiltered, and more.

With each track penned by Saint, 17 Hero stirs majestic alternative and intimate indie into an artistic and anthemic pop pastiche. The shimmering eighties synths and fingersnaps of "Just Friends" bristle as she coyly asks, "Why don't we makeout?" Elsewhere, "For God's Sake" builds from a hushed verse into a soaring refrain, and the buzzing intro of "New Regime" hinges on buzzing tones and a handclap as she carries an angelic refrain to the heavens and back. It's "Moody Pop," as she so eloquently describes. Check out the full tracklisting below.

It's shaping up to be a breakthrough fall for the artist. She recently wrapped up dates on the road with Goldfrapp and Banks and takes the stage at Baby's All Right with Charlotte Cardin in Brooklyn on October 3.
