Emmeline Rises Up Through the Ashes
Each song on RISE sings with its own distinct voice. The discoveries are endless, and the listener hears different stories each time a track is explored. Extensive production sets the album apart from Emmeline’s previous releases. Like “Superheroes,” and “Empire,” the instrumentation on the album builds and grows with an outpouring of emotions in times where one feels like they are truly being tested by the world. Five years in the making, RISE wasn’t completed without hindrance. Finishing the album felt like spraining an ankle in the last seconds of the race and limping determinedly towards the finish line. This perseverance permeates every track and ultimately inspired the album’s title. Emmeline states, “This record is about getting past your pain by working through it and realizing that there is so much joy on the other side.”

VR SEX (mem. Drab Majesty) announces ‘Human Traffic Jam’ LP for Dais Records

Instead, we’re mired in a digital labyrinth that few care to navigate or even solve. Perhaps it’s not a ruse and the matrices coded by keyboard maestros are a path to liberation, but without querying the constructs we cannot ruminate on their affectations on humanity.
