Cat Cork’s latest single, “Promise Me”, is heartwarming and inspiring as it strikes the ideal balance between reminiscence and a sense of hope. This Australian artist, who hopes to release a series of singles throughout 2025, opens the year with the release of this single on 21st December 2024. The song is a product of many gifted musicians from all over the world which makes it exceptionally unique as it blends many different styles into one single piece. The song was recorded in Cat’s home studio in Australia. His percussion, cello, bass, and drums were all recorded remotely in Costa Rica, Ireland, the UK, and Brazil and were bound together with rich instrumentals to make a song that features an incredible arrangement. A friend that Cat has worked with for a long time, Cameron Taylor, helped with the mix and production, making sure all the parts fit together with Cat’s style.
The moment “Promise Me” begins, listeners can feel the warmth and heart everywhere within this song. The melody elicits relaxation while simultaneously holding deeper emotions that resonate in the listener. More than one thing is reflection, so each lyric, though basic, is self-expansive in nature. Cat’s voice sparkles in clarity while providing comfort and hope. The layers of instrumentation create nostalgia and evoke both sentiment and joy. Once again, a balance that Cat Cork achieves in his songwriting. In addition to the music, the song is accompanied by a film clip that further adds another layer and dimension to the song. The film was directed by Milo Cawthorne and Ella Hope-Higginson. It was shot on super8 film, which captures a black-and-white, vintage-looking aesthetic. There are no words needed to describe this choice as it increases the emotional essence the song has to offer with superb visuals which makes it a breathtaking experience.
Unlike Cat’s previous album, which carried a darker tone, “Promise Me” takes a lighter approach while still packing the big sonic hit that fans love. It is a hopeful song about looking back in time mixed with perseverance and new opportunities. This track lays the groundwork for what Cat has planned for 2025, starting off strong as the first release of a new chapter in Cat’s career. “Promise Me” serves as more than just any other song as it’s a reminder to stay hopeful, cherish the past, and look forward to what’s ahead. It is a super intimate track, yet it can still be enjoyed by anyone, which further cements the song’s spot in any playlist.
