‘Promises’ is the cracking new single from Texas-based lo-fi synth-pop singer/songwriter Chris Galis, who performs under the moniker of Genuine Leather. A breezy, upbeat, and dizzyingly infectious tune, it’s Galis’ first release of 2023 and features driving synths, cheerful drums, and the musician’s unique and dynamic vocals. Described as “connecting the dots between Wilco, Tears for Fears, Cars, and Tame Impala”, ‘Promises’ is the culmination of years spent developing a sound and a feel that is distinctly Genuine Leather. It’s a sound that I’m thrilled to have stumbled upon, as I haven’t been able to get the song out of my head the whole day!
The track showcases Galis’ ability to blend different genres seamlessly, creating a sound that is fresh, vibrant, and addictive. The production is also top-notch, and Galis’ delivery is full of emotion, honesty, and vulnerability.
It’s clear that ‘Promises’ is a labour of love for Galis, and he’s poured his heart and soul into it. As the tune continues to gain momentum, it’s exciting to think about what Genuine Leather has in store for the future. If ‘Promises’ is any indication, Galis is on his way to becoming one of the most exciting and innovative musicians in the industry today!
