Artist Saint DX released his first album on January 26th.
Back in 2021, he talked to Substance about his emotional bond with certain items, like this bright red raincoat.

« She needed to get back home from a bar, it was pouring rain, so I gave her my raincoat. A few months later she gave it back to me, and we started dating. »
