PROMISE

If you close your eyes and hit play here, you'll find yourself feeling a sense of weightlessness thanks to the incredibly uplifting and tender vocal delivery from LILA JNR on his new release "PROMISE".

The New Zealand-based singer and songwriter LILA JNR merges the worlds of Opera, R&B, and theatre to create an emotionally rich soundscape around his music. This is apparent on the heartwarming "PROMISE" - a track that not only serves as his debut release but also shows how powerful minimalism can be. Here, LILA JNR is naked in front of us, and the thoughts that lie heavy on his chest flutter alongside bright strings and glittery guitar works. Pain and beauty seem to intertwine around his vocals in a manner that feels acutely relatable too.

"Promise is a love song, but it’s also a song about grief.It started from something a friend said to me about a relationship - Nothing else matters, when the time is right, we’ll find each other again. That’s just the way it has to go”, shares LILA.
