After the release of In the Ballroom, both Keith Saunders and Meredith DiMenna of Saint Bernadette started to hear voices.

Newly joined in the bonds of Holy Matrimony, ending a 7-year stint of living in sin, Meredith and Keith interpreted the sudden appearance of the voices as a sign from the High Holy Power of Music and Creativity.

I Wanna Tell You Something was born.

Where In the Ballroom featured anthems for "ethical sluts", Daddys girls, and hookers with hearts of gold, I Wanna Tell You Something pays homage to an illusory, impossible love affair. Featuring sing along choruses, twisted circus melodies, and one crushing ballad, the EPs five songs detail a journey of longing through temptation, despair, whimsy, audacity, and vulnerability.

I Wanna Tell You Something, moves past the retro quality of In the Ballroom and its comparisons to Shirley Bassey, Peggy Lee, and Billie Holliday and into the modern territory of the Deal sisters and KT Tunstall.

Running in tandem with side project, The Priestess and The Fool, featuring duets performed by Meredith and label mate, Brian Grosz, and skillfully produced by Keith, Saint Bernadettes 2008 output is truly miraculous.

To paraphrase the 1943 movie The Song of Bernadette: For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.
