Originally released back in October, and produced by Gabe Simon (Dua Lipa, Rag’n’Bone Man, Lana Del Ray) and Jon Maguire (The Vamps, Kodaline), Rise marks somewhat of a sonic departure from the soulful minimalism of Scott’s previous single Biblical, it’s joyful and uplifting melody providing listeners with a much needed sense of hope as we continue to navigate our way through such difficult and trying times.
Sharing his thoughts on the super empowering track, Calum says: “We’ve all faced it during our lifetimes: feeling demotivated or uninspired, feeling like life is out to get you, that it’s easier to stay on the ground when life throws its punches. I wanted to write a song that would empower people to chase down their dreams and to try to embrace life, no matter what they are going through or what their circumstances. We all have the opportunity to do it our way, to put our best foot forward and to rise.”
