Inspired by the storied musical history of their hometown in Liverpool, English rock outfit RISE has made their presence known to fans far and wide with their unique brand of rich and intricate melodic rock that is equally instrumentally uplifting as it is narratively robust. Assertively seizing every opportunity that they continue to make for themselves, they have continued to make their presence known over the past several years, releasing a steady stream of music to the elation of their evergrowing fanbase. As they celebrate the debut of their latest single, Always, it proves itself as a marquee standout in their robust repertoire, showcasing the outfit’s proclivities for creating earworm melodies that underscore deeply profound lyrics.
The piece begins with an eruption of energetic and enthusiastic instrumentality that quickly sets the tone for the track. Immediately we feel the world of this music build around us in real time as the upbeat timbre of the record puts us in a comfortable state of mind. As vocalist Sam Kinley lets out a big “yeah” to introduce his part, he begins an encouraging narrative as he delivers the opening line “You call out and I’m there. Always. If you’re lost, then I’m there. Always.”
An inspirational anthem that highlights the deepest and most optimistic philosophies of these artists, the single serves as a powerful reminder to focus on life’s positives and to lean on those closest to us throughout turbulent times. Anchored in unique sentimentality and genuine authenticity, the track finds a way to stay with listeners long after the sounds have left their speakers.
