B.Thomas Returns with Stirring Country Ballad “I’ve Got a Promise to Keep”

After decades of carrying the torch for classic country in Norway’s live circuit, B.Thomas steps boldly into a new chapter with his deeply personal single “I’ve Got a Promise to Keep.” A standout track from his newly released album Now It’s Time to Tell My Story, the song signals more than just a creative shift—it’s the sound of an artist finally speaking in his own voice.

With roots that run deep in traditional country, B.Thomas has long been known for his heartfelt renditions of the genre’s greats. But after years of interpreting the stories of others, he’s now telling his own, and it’s long overdue. “I’ve Got a Promise to Keep” is rich with emotional gravitas, a slow-burning ballad that feels like a confession whispered over a back-porch guitar. His seasoned vocals carry a weight that can only come from a life lived fully—on stages, in smoky bars, and through the quiet reckonings in between.

There’s a quiet resilience in the lyrics, a theme of loyalty and purpose that feels especially poignant coming from an artist reintroducing himself to the world. The instrumentation is classic country: steady, grounded, and full of soul. But it’s the authenticity in B.Thomas’s delivery that elevates the track from good to unforgettable.

Now It’s Time to Tell My Story marks a pivotal moment for B.Thomas, and if “I’ve Got a Promise to Keep” is any indication, he’s not just revisiting his roots—he’s planting new ones. With another album already in the works and a summer single on the horizon, B.Thomas is proving that country music still has room for stories that take their time to unfold.

Listen to “I’ve Got a Promise to Keep” now and discover the heart behind B.Thomas’s long-awaited story.

The Mo-Fi Collective Drop Highly Anticipated Album “Modal Fidelity Volume II”

Last BeNeVoLeNcE, OnTheRox, and Murphles return to continue delivering the lush jazz-hop and lo-fi textures characteristic of the original. The Mo-Fi Collective weaves thought-provoking and witty lyricism into every beat produced entirely by Last BeNeVoLeNcE. Each track feels like a faded photograph brought to life—warm, raw, and deeply personal. Nostalgic melodies drift…See More
