SINGLE REVIEW: Promises Promises – About the Heart

Single Review
Written By Amy

'About the Heart' by Promises Promises is a delightful gem that immediately captivates with its chiming, upbeat charm and infectious energy. The track showcases raw yet stunningly melodic vocals, blending the indie DIY ethos with punk's rawness, the boldness of alt-rock, and a touch of 80s glamour.

The song carries a laid-back energy, anchored by a steady drum beat that keeps everything in place. Big riffs and killer hooks drive the track forward, while a sax solo adds an unexpected and refreshing dimension. The professional production quality shines through, balancing raw spirit with flawless execution and clear authenticity.

It's hard to believe that Promises Promises have only 19 monthly listeners on Spotify—this track deserves a far wider audience. 'About the Heart' is a vibrant and polished offering that feels like a true injustice isn't being recognised by more listeners.
