Source-derived summary

No Saint is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Lauren Jenkins. Big Machine Records released it on March 15, 2019. Before she was signed to the aforementioned label, Jenkins performed at various establishments. Her producer sent demos he had worked on with her to several labels, and she signed with Big Machine. An Americana, country, pop, and rock album, No Saint focuses on themes of alcohol, romance, and self-doubt. She co-wrote all of the album's songs and co-produced six of them.

Critics gave positive reviews to No Saint, who praised Jenkins's vocals. It peaked at numbers 7 and 18 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums and Top Country Albums charts, respectively. The album was accompanied by a short film, Running Out of Road (2019), which Jenkins co-wrote, co-produced, and starred in. She further promoted No Saint by singing tracks from it at the "Billboard Live Featuring CMT Next Women Of Country" event organized by Billboard with CMT and on Ricky Ross's radio show.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2019 album by Lauren Jenkins” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q121811974. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
