Collection One is indeed the first album from SAINt JHN, a rapper/singer, songwriter, and producer who got his foot in the door by co-writing songs for Hoodie Allen, Kiesza, Gorgon City, and Usher. Similar in attitude to what he has given off in at least one of his press photos (middle finger up, tongue out), these songs, mostly slow jams with lucid lyrics and shadowy sonics, are even less inhibited than what he has supplied to other artists. Among the highlights are "Roses," "Reflex," and "I Heard You Got Too Litt Last Night."
