Every second of "Promises" is a raw, electrifying showcase of undeniable vocal brilliance and sonic finesse.
Immortal Wild recently released a track that instantly reaffirms their place in the contemporary pop world, and their sound feels tailor-made for late-night festival stages and cutting-edge club circuits. Their creative energy doesn’t just fit the current scene; it elevates it, offering something that’s sleek, expressive, and undeniably modern.
“Promises” opens with a mesmerizing synth pulse and a punchy, controlled beat, immediately pulling you into its magnetic atmosphere. Within seconds, there’s a set of intricate drum fills that are tight, deliberate, and totally engaging. All this signals that this isn’t just another pop song. As soon as Debra Roberts' vocals enter, silky and pitch-perfect, it becomes clear the track is about to unfold into something seriously captivating. Her falsetto is not just smooth; it’s executed with a grace and technical skill that commands attention.
Beneath Roberts’ vocals lies the other half of this duo’s magic. Tom Freeland’s instrumentation is layered with deliberate complexity, featuring glistening guitar tones that resonate with just the right amount of reverb, stretching into what feels like sonic infinity. The effect matches the aesthetic of the single’s cover art, which is an explosion of vivid waves and hues that echo the guitar’s dreamy textures. Freeland’s clever layering of drums, keys, and guitar fills creates a moment-to-moment environment of organized chaos. Every element feels wild but intentional. Tuning it to that level of harmony must have required serious precision and control.
What also stands out is how the vocals re-emerge throughout the track. Sometimes they soar, sometimes they float, shaping a sense of movement and space that’s both dynamic and meditative. This duality makes “Promises” the kind of track that works equally well whether you’re sipping something strong on a rooftop or pushing your way into the rhythm on a dance floor.
The vocal runs that arrive later in the track are especially breathtaking. Roberts doesn't hold back. Her delivery moves between restraint and power with effortless finesse. What’s most remarkable is how unfiltered it all feels. There’s a rawness to her voice that’s refreshingly unpolished, giving every lyric a sense of intimacy and authenticity. You feel like you're hearing her, not a production effect. That kind of honesty is rare.
Freeland’s production is master-level work. The balance of each instrument, the clarity of the mix, and the emotional tension built into the track’s arc all speak to a deep understanding of the pop form. There’s also a clear desire to stretch it into new terrain. The engineering is airtight without being sterile. It keeps that realness at the forefront.
We walked away from “Promises” seriously impressed by Immortal Wild. The energy, execution, and atmosphere of this track are everything you want from a rising pop act. The mix is pristine, the vocals are thrilling, and the artistic vision is absolutely locked in.
In our opinion, Immortal Wild is poised to break through, and fans of bold, boundary-pushing indie pop are going to want to be there when they do.
"Promises" by Immortal Wild is a lush, high-voltage triumph that sets a new bar for modern pop innovation.
The creative force behind Immortal Wild is the international duo of Debra Roberts and Tom Freeland.
What sets them apart goes beyond geography. With Roberts based in Australia and Freeland originally from Texas, their real distinction lies in how effortlessly they blend emotional depth with polished, high-gloss sonic craft. Their style fuses Roberts’ vocal expressiveness and lyric-driven storytelling with Freeland’s instinct for lush textures and layered instrumentals. The result is a sound that feels emotionally urgent yet sonically smooth.
Their partnership took root across continents and evolved into a full-fledged musical identity that thrives on duality. It blends electronic and organic, vulnerable and assertive, reflective yet rhythm-driven elements.
Where their debut “Zanzibar” introduced us to their vision, “Promises” shows how much further they're willing to push it. They’re currently based in Australia and building out their unique place in the indie pop landscape with precision and heart.
