RISE comes back strong with their latest single that turns a breakup into fuel for moving on. Right from the start, you get their mix of synths and guitar working together, backed by drums that keep pushing things forward. The band takes that moment when you’re too stunned to respond after hearing “it’s over” and spins it into something you can actually use.
Brian Petch’s guitar playing stands out, particularly in the bridge where he lets loose with a solo that really connects. stayMellow brings serious strength to his vocals while still letting you hear the emotion behind them, and the harmonies layer up nicely and give the chorus extra punch. Alex Mahoney’s drumming locks everything down with precision that makes the whole track feel tight and stunning.
This single works because it catches that exact feeling of being blindsided by a breakup, then choosing to bounce back instead of falling apart. We’ve all experienced that moment of silence when a relationship ends, and RISE gets it right. Rob Whiteley and Paul Kinley handled the production at Whitewood Studios, giving each element space without losing the energy that makes you want to move.
