The new Sonny Santos and Billie Marten collaboration is the perfect summer lullaby. “swear 2 g-d” is a beautiful merging of like-minded artists. Sonny Santos and Billie Marten have created a pure and timeless love song that feels just right. Patiently, the track, the story, the video, and the portrait of love they together depict build into a lulling waltz with a bit of fire. Santos’ and Maten’s voices combine on the delicate melody that unravels into something between a future fantasy and a nostalgic memory of all of love’s little things. Every added layer of arrangement only adds to the fervor, pushing forward with a quiet strength until the end. The clip sews together sweet moments of day to day love on film. It’s the romantic, cinematic scrapbook that the song deserves.
Sonny Santos’ debut album, Hotel de Londres, arrives July 17. Let “swear 2 g-d” tiptoe into your eyes and ears in the meantime above and below.
It should be noted that this track is actually a cover of The Shiver’s 2006 track of the same name which you can hear below.
