This Friday sees the latest
in The Rising’s bold plan of releasing a single per month. I Want You shows that Chris and
Chantelle have delivered on that intent, and still managed to do so despite
Lockdown affecting us all, and the music industry especially.
To describe the band as pop
country doesn’t quite do them justice, and although they are definitely more on
the pop side of country, this manifests as happy dance-along music, with this
newest single having a very “breezy and summery” feel – you’ll be tapping your
steering wheel in the car or tapping your feet as you listen, if only the
weather could give us the same feel!
The Rising are not afraid to
experiment and push boundaries – with the idea of monthly releases, with cover
versions and with the way they play and play around with instruments in the
studio. Despite now being based in the
Midlands, there is still a definite Irish influence to their music, some of it
reminiscent of the Coors.
Time and statistics will
tell if the concept has worked, but for now we can sit back and enjoy the music
and also applaud how hard working Chris and Chantelle have been throughout
Lockdown with their frequent releases, social media presence and their regular
Monday night livestreams - a strong work
ethic that deserves success and recognition.
Whatever happens, you
certainly sense that musically these guys want to have fun – so kick back and
have fun listening!
I Want You,
the new single from the Rising is available on all major platforms on Friday 10
July
Find and follow the Rising
