New Music Report: Emerging Artist of the Week - Cheat Codes

It's been a great week for LA-based electronic music trio Cheat Codes. After teasing fans via social media, they finally released their collaboration with Demi Lovato "No Promises."

The group, comprised of Trevor Dahl, Kevin Ford, and Matthew Russell, have been writing and releasing music over the last few years, including their 2016 singles "Sex" (which samples Salt-N-Pepa's "Let's Talk About Sex") and "Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)," a remake of Kevin Lyttle's 2003 hit. 

Now, with their new Demi Lovato collab, the guys are ready to take their career to the next level. Demi was actually at the top of their list when choosing who they wanted to sing on "No Promises." In fact, the guys tell iHeartRadio, "When we first started as a group, we did everything ourselves. We wrote everything, recorded everything, we sang everything, whether it was my [Matthew] voice, Trevor's vocals, Kevin's vocals, so now that we're getting into collaborations, we really wanted to work with a female vocalist for the very first time. And the fact that our first time ever doing that is with a huge superstar like Demi Lovato, and she really just took the song and made it her own, and we love that."

The guys also explained to us how fans had a lot to do with their Demi collab:

"We played a show with Demi in Brazil at Z Festival, and it was super sick. The crowd was hyped, the fans were amazing, and that was the first we saw her, seeing her perform. We were like, 'Wow, she's so amazing live.' And I remember leaving Brazil, and our fans and her fans just kind of going crazy, and saying 'You guys should collab together, you guys should collab.' And the fact that it's actually happening however many months later is amazing. And it's a true testament to how crazy involved her fans are as well, because they really make stuff happen."

Fans can expect a "No Promises" music video in the near future, and Demi will appear in the visual. The guys say they are shooting the clip "very soon." The trio also adds of the music video,"There's going to be crazy stuff. Maybe there's going to be sky diving, maybe there's going to be pyrotechnics, maybe there's going to be Shaquille O'Neal ... but no promises."

You will definitely wan to keep your eye on Cheat Codes this year.
