Maggie Rose releases the gospel-power of new song “Saint” from her forthcoming album,
Have A Seat. “Saint” unfolds slowly as a delicate refusal to succumb to the expectations of others and ends in a giant choir-swaying groove as Rose belts “I’m not a saint” to the waves and swells of a fading Hammond B-3 and string section.

Pre-orders are available now.
