Weekend Playlist: Promises

Weekend Playlist: Promises

Here's the weekend playlist created by Leigh with help from guest curator Graham looking at X/twitter selections (15/08/2025) with Songs that reference promises.
This was inspired by the release of Calvin Harris' "Promises" featuring Sam Smith on Sunday, 8 years ago (17/08/2018)
