Heart-breaking personal stories told through song are often some of the most deeply impactful artistic experiences for us all. In this case, Trent Richardson continues his journey as a rising indie artist, with a song that dives into his own true experiences with profound uncertainty and difficulty surrounding the birth of his son.
Promise You Now is a stunning country and pop-rock ballad, with lush and distinct vocals from Trent Richardson, guiding us through a euphoric celebration of life that captivates in its evolution from heartbreak to optimism.
An inspiring listen, a beautifully genuine promise to his son – Promise You Now talks of his family’s journey since welcoming their baby boy, who was diagnosed at birth with the rare condition Septo-Optic Dysplasia (SOD).
Their son remained in the NICU for over two months, and will likely need medication for the entirety of his life. As such, the family have found themselves consumed by an unprecedented level of worry and heartbreak. However, what captured their focus more distinctly over time, and what rings out through the melody and emotion of this song, is the value and power of hope.
For those with families of their own, this song hits hard, but what shines brightly is Trent’s authenticity in his promise – the positivity and love that resounds throughout the song’s chorus, and it’s this uplifting wonder that lingers; long after the music has ended.
Single out August 28th. Find Trent Richardson on Instagram, Facebook.
