What’s A Few More Tears

Bnny “Promises”

“Promises” clocks in just under two minutes, which is exactly as much time as the song needs to shimmy and shake and project both a sexy atmosphere and a twitchy anxiety. Jess Viscius’ lyrics come from a place of uncertainty and ambivalence as she announces her disillusionment with a man in one breath and in the next admits to feeling seduced by him. Her vocal is breathy and sultry but also a little tough, conveying traces of anger and disappointment. As the song goes along that seems to be directed more inward though – she’s letting herself down, but as she sings “I haven’t been happy in years / so what’s a few more tears?”
