VUUR vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen has shared their new song “My Promise” today.

The accompanying music video, which you can see below, was directed by Jasper van Gheluwe. Van Giersbergen has this to say about the new track:

“I wrote ‘My Promise’ when I imagined what life after divorce would really entail. The lyrics deal with a determination to fight for love. The song starts off with an acoustic Arabo-Spanish Gypsy vibe and gradually builds towards a euphoric ending. Ruud Peeters wrote a hauntingly melancholic string arrangement.”

We shot the video in Radio Royaal, one of my favourite restaurants in my hometown Eindhoven and it shows a few defining moments in a relationship, represented by different couples.”

“My Promises” stems from van Giersbergen’s forthcoming solo album The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest, which will arrive on February 26, 2021 via Inside Out Music. The 11-track record was produced by Gijs Coolen (Vic Anselmo, Woost). Pre-orders for the album can be made here. This is the follow up to van Giersbergen’s 2013 solo album Drive.
