Bay Area native and Los Angeles-based, producer, songwriter, and vocalist Meernaa delivers the perfect end-of-the-week single with ‘A Promise‘, something this song is full of.
Kicking off with a lovely short off-kilter bass line that you nearly miss, Carly Bond wastes no time in letting us hear those dreamy soulful vocals, heightening the mood with piano and pedal steel, alongside her trademark elements of synth, electric guitars, bass, and drums. It’s also our Song of the Day.
Carly Bond writes: “I believe this song is about cherished memories you hold with someone you are estranged from. How easy it is to look back and feel all the good things and ask yourself why you’ve removed yourself from that person. A deep guilt in feeling so distant, but then being gentle and reminding yourself that this is a process and every relationship is ever so complicated. That feeling isn’t a weakness, but a beautiful reminder that you aren’t hardened by them.”
Meernaa is currently on tour in California with Pure Bathing Culture.
