NEW RELEASE ALERT
PROMISE NO PROMISES TACKLES GLOBAL CONFLICT WITH STIRRING NEW SINGLE “FACES OF WAR” Track appears on Dexter Jones’ ‘The Solution Riddim’ via Upliftment Recordzz
March 2026 – As global tensions escalate and the human cost of conflict mounts, roots reggae artist PROMISE NO PROMISES delivers a powerful wake-up call with his new single, “Faces of War.” Released in March 2026, the track serves as the second official single of the year from the rising artist and is featured on the highly anticipated “The Solution Riddim,” produced by the renowned Dexter Jones for Upliftment Recordzz.
Hailing from Guyana and now based in Antigua, Promise No Promises brings a unique Caribbean perspective to the global conversation on war. Producer Dexter Jones, also a Guyanese native, has crafted a riddim that speaks to the shared struggles of post-colonial nations while resonating on a worldwide scale.
Where anthems of division often dominate the airwaves, “Faces of War” cuts through the noise with a singular, haunting question: Who does all this devastation and pain really benefit? Promise No Promises directs his lyrical gaze not only at the architects of war but also at the soldiers on the ground—the men and women in uniform following orders without question.
“The song asks every soldier, every trigger-puller to pause and truly look at the faces of the people affected by their actions,” explains Promise No Promises. “When you follow orders blindly, are you protecting the innocent, or are you becoming a tool for those who profit from death? The devastation we see on the news—the broken cities, the crying children—someone is counting coins from that chaos. That is the face of war no one wants to see.”
Produced by Dexter Jones, whose signature roots style has shaped the sound of Upliftment Recordzz, “The Solution Riddim” provides a solemn, militant groove that underpins Promise’s urgent delivery. The riddim’s deep bassline and echoing horns create a soundscape of both mourning and resistance—perfectly framing the single’s meditation on duty, morality, and mass suffering.
“Faces of War” follows Promise No Promises’ first 2026 release, continuing a prolific year for the artist who refuses to be silent in the face of injustice. The track is now available on all major streaming platforms.
