Kings Elliot returns with “The Promise” ahead of her debut album – Aipate

The countdown for Swiss singer-songwriter Kings Elliot‘s debut album is on. Titled Born Blue, the full-length project is expected to be released on September 26th.

I’ve always been blown away by the artist since her arrival onto the scene in 2021, so you can imagine my excitement when I found out that the release date had been confirmed.

Elliot’s newest single, “The Promise”, forms the album’s centrepiece. It’s a cinematic pop song that retains the artist’s signature haunting vulnerability. Following the singles “Starcrossed” and ” Love and Landslides”, the new song arrived paired with a powerful music video filmed by Céline Müller.

“For the first time, I’ve turned something very painful into a song that feels like euphoric sadness that makes me want to scream, run, dance, and cry—all at once. Letting it out into the world is terrifying, as the wound behind it is still so fresh. Stepping into a new soundscape that poured out of me like it had always been there has been incredibly rewarding as an artist, it’s an anthem for abandonment issues,” Kings Elliot reveals.

The singer’s real name Anja Gmür. Follow her on Instagram for prompt updates regarding the upcoming release.
