Saint Sinner just released her big, driving new single “Couch Business,” the first release from a collection of music that is uniquely her own, to be shared throughout the year. Written and recorded over the past several years and featuring collaborators from across the world, the new songs will showcase Saint Sinner’s composition, recording and mixing, production skill and already-proven songwriting and vocal performances. Most widely known for her vocal feature on Tycho’s 2019 album Weather, the songwriter, composer, producer and performer, born Hannah Cottrell, has made a name as an artist in her own right. 

The Joey Muñoz-directed video “Couch Business” shows off Cottrell’s equally stunning dichotomous sides, and was filmed in Tepoztlan, Mexico with a team from her adopted home of Mexico City. “We see Saint and Sinner manifested in one person in the music video. Saint is X and Sinner is Y, which allows any person who watches this the ability to see the elements they’re balancing in their own universe,” notes Cottrell. “I stripped in Los Angeles for a few months, and I wanted to represent that here.”

Cottrell collaborated with a local team in Mexico for the concept, production and styling of the “Couch Business” music video. Produced by Columba Diaz and Zyana Galvan, the video was shot in a house built by French architect Emmanuel Picault in the brutalista style. The concept was developed by Diaz, formerly of Netflix’s Made in Mexico series, and current artist and activist who advocates for justice for women in Mexico. Saint Sinner’s outfit was handmade by Argentinian Fabrizio Obregon and designed by Chino Castillo, along with Obregon. The high heels were handmade by a team of leatherists who design shoes in the markets of Mexico City, and Cottrell trained with Mexican pole artist Natalia Harrigan to prepare for the video.

Saint Sinner is about freedom, love and balance. Balance pertaining mostly to our inner and outer selves, but not limited from the balances of work, life, travel, emotion. While Cottrell composed and produced the record, she adds “there is nothing about Saint Sinner that has been done alone.” 

By her early 20’s, Saint Sinner had earned a GRAMMY nomination for her work with Tycho and released seven acclaimed singles. Collaborating with fellow artists is a common thread for Saint Sinner and, in addition to her work with Tycho, she has worked with the likes of RAC, Com Truise, Satin Jackets, OTR, and more. Saint Sinner boasts a collective 35M+ streams with her varied profile of successful collaborative projects and independent solo tracks. She also performed in Tycho’s live band during 2019 and performed at Corona Capital in Mexico, Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, Sydney Opera House, Printworks in London, Central Park SummerStage, and both Greek Theatres in LA and Berkeley.
