Cameron Winter sings Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark” in the launch trailer for the ROG Xbox Ally. At least, that is what we can deduce based on the seemingly unmistakeable tenor of the singer’s voice; neither Winter nor Geese have acknowledged the song, and nobody is credited for the music in the trailer’s description. The acts’ representatives did not respond to requests for comment. Decide for yourself below.
If any doubts remain over the artist’s identity (or identities), one person we can rule out is Brian Eno, composer of the Windows 95 startup sound for Xbox owner Microsoft. In May, Eno denounced Microsoft for collaborating with the Israeli government, donated his fee for the theme to people in Gaza, and expressed solidarity with Microsoft workers who have “done something truly disruptive and refused to stay silent.”
Geese’s latest album, Getting Killed, came out last month. They have since performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and released a music video for “Au Pays du Cocaine.”
