It's almost as if Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs decided to go electronic...super electronic. The dubstep feel to Promises definitely adds a modern twist to the band's song. Interestingly enough, the female vocalist is not a band member. Nero consists of a UK duo Joe Ray and Daniel Stephens. The 7 year bromance occasionally asks Alana Watson to come sing on some of their singles and viola, here is the single of the week. Promises, as with most of the songs on Single of the Week, is the 1st single off of Nero's newest album, "Welcome Reality".
Though not usually my type of music genre, the song is growing on me...mainly because of the well executed music video. Promises already has 8 million views and counting on their Vevo channel and I (want to) believe it is because of the reference to Ayn Rand's Anthem. Excellent book, well made music video.
