We had the pleasure of writing about RISE earlier this year, celebrating ‘Here I Am’ as “part of an ever-eclectic music scene, where tradition constantly meets the future and morphs into something new.” To be perfectly honest though, we have to admit that what attracts us to the project is mainly two things: the very high production value and the meaningful, poignant lyricism.
‘Healing Hearts’ is the perfect evidence of that: RISE’s latest effort, the record is once again incredibly anthemic and epic, exchanging glam-like elements for TOTO-esque melodies and catchy choruses. Overall, the single presents the perfect blend of relatable and friendly AOR energy and nuanced musicianship. stayMellow’s evocative vocals are a permanent fixture of the project by now, with RISE instead lending his intense songwriting to the cause.
‘Healing Hearts’ was recorded in Liverpool (where RISE is based) by Rob Whiteley, at Whitewood Studios. Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, the British creatives explain: “‘Healing Hearts’ is a particularly personal track for the band. The heartfelt lyrics and powerful music make it a standout piece in our discography”. We couldn’t agree more.
