Adeline Troutman (born September 28, 2002), known professionally as Saint Avangeline, is an American singer-songwriter and model. She became known for her dark and ethereal alternative pop and dream pop-style music and lyrics inspired by gothic aesthetics and artistic and literary influences. She has released two albums, Inferno (2024) and Gardener of Eden (2022), which contained the viral single "Lilith".
Saint Avangeline began her career by making music on her laptop computer and uploading it to YouTube and SoundCloud. She first gained popularity for her covers of Lana Del Rey songs, flipping the gender of the songsâ love interests to female to reflect her lesbian identity. She released her first album, Gardener of Eden, in 2022, which contained the single âÂÂLilithâÂÂ, which subsequently went viral on TikTok and Instagram, gaining over 56 million streams. This haunting track explored her experience of toxic relationships and sexual assault using the biblical character of Lilith as a symbol for both beauty and danger. Saint shared that she wrote âÂÂLilithâ âÂÂto try to cope and heal, and since then, my inspiration has mostly come from a desperate place of trying to get everything out of my system.â In 2023, she released the song âÂÂEvery Girl Gets Her WishâÂÂ, which was a cover of the unreleased Lana Del Rey song âÂÂEvery Man Gets His WishâÂÂ, and received over 13 million streams. The next year, in 2024, she released her sophomore album, Inferno. In this album, her musical style explored new influences such as metal and screamo. In 2025 Saint released a variety of singles including âÂÂLimeranceâÂÂ, an ethereal track with themes of deadly desire and destruction, âÂÂCarolina CreatureâÂÂ, a haunting song based on a past abusive relationship, âÂÂRain DanceâÂÂ, a dreamy and cinematic track, and covers of Madonna's âÂÂFrozenâ and Type O Negative's âÂÂLove You to DeathâÂÂ.
Saint Avangeline's music is distinctive for its blending of ethereal and dreamy sounds with raw, emotional vocals and lyrics, often reflecting her personal experiences with mental health, growing up queer, and domestic abuse. She has stated that âÂÂMost songs are like a diary for me,â explaining that âÂÂExploring my mental health struggles. Trauma, intense feelings. Like sucking the poison out.â Her work also takes inspiration from her Southern upbringing as well as art, religion, and literature, such as the gothic movement, 19th-century poetry, the work of Dante Alighieri, and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Saint said of her writing process that âÂÂInspiration is fueled by an intense emotion that I cannot shake,â and âÂÂLyrics are written in a stream of consciousness within a very short sitting, 20 minutes. The composition and vocals are not different, and usually are completed within a day.âÂÂ
In 2025, she collaborated with Adam Bravin, of She Wants Revenge, to form the duo âÂÂThe Death of LiliesâÂÂ. They released the single âÂÂSaviorâÂÂ, a cinematic darkwave song with gothic influences based on a character from Dungeons and Dragons lore.
In October 2025, Saint Avangeline embarked on her Mortal Genesis Tour, playing two shows, one at The Roxy in Los Angeles on the 19th and one at The Meadows in Brooklyn on the 26th.
She is also well known for her Instagram account, where she posts art and fantasy-inspired photoshoots and a closer look at her music career, with over 100,000 followers.

She has shared that she has chromesthesia, a type of synesthesia where certain sounds evoke the perception of certain colors.
