Los Angeles singer/songwriter Peyton Shay is an incredible force of nature. They’re a hurricane of emotions, a musical earthquake that has arrived to shake the very foundations of the music industry. Embracing their autoimmune disorders as a badge of honor, Peyton proves that nothing can stand in the way of their unstoppable rise to stardom.
Peyton is breaking new ground as one of the first unsigned artists to land a major sync deal on Apple TV+. Their song “Twisted Saint” was featured in a pivotal scene of the hit show Shrinking, highlighting an emotional moment between Jimmy (Jason Segel) and Alice (Lukita Maxwell) as they get tattooed.
Produced by Adam Castilla, “Twisted Saint” is an acoustic anthem that delves deep into the complexities of toxic relationships. Peyton’s voice greets us at the start, followed closely by an acoustic guitar that enhances the atmosphere throughout the song.
The haunting vocals tell a bittersweet story of love and desire, exploring what could happen when we ignore all the red flags. “Twisted Saint” delves into the emotional turmoil of being trapped in a cycle of love and pain, where the heart battles with the mind over right and wrong.
“It’s about being irresistibly drawn to someone, even when you know they’re bad for you. The song captures that tension of ignoring red flags when love gets complicated,” Peyton explains.
The lyrics capture the push and pull of wanting to break free from a destructive relationship while simultaneously being drawn back in by the allure of passion and familiarity. The song’s raw vulnerability speaks to anyone who has ever struggled with the conflicting emotions of love and self-preservation.
“Twisted Saint” is the lead single for Peyton Shay’s upcoming EP “Daydream Police.” Continuing their collaboration with avant-garde producer Adam Castilla, the duo has crafted an incredible collection of songs that promises to deliver a truly unforgettable listening experience. Peyton Shay is also gearing up for a highly anticipated US and UK tour in 2025. With a year full of exciting possibilities ahead, it’s clear that Peyton will be one of the standout artists to watch, captivating audiences across both sides of the Atlantic.
