Niels Rahder has gone beyond his typical process and has ventured into the unknown with his new single, "Rise It Up." When it's an artist like Rahder, known for genre-blurring, he can create both anthemic and emotive soundscapes that give us a completely fresh take on the idea of freedom and positivity.
"Rise It Up" thrives on raw energy seasoned by the unmistakable power and punch of a Tama Starclassic drum kit. The production is taut but still has a raw, unrefined quality that feels intimate and wide-ranging. Psychedelic, Metal, and Rock inflections abound in the sonic DNA of Rahder's one-person musical maelstrom, dynamically refusing to be boxed into any particular genre.
While Rahder relied on their instrumental-driven compositions in the past, words steal the spotlight here. It is a hubristic anthem, and the lyrics are a unifying battle cry that aims to break the spell and ascend to a better plane of existence. This change in Rahder's way of writing offers a different facet of his artistry that is felt deeply and delivered forcefully.
"Rise It Up," this new creative chapter resonates with folks who appreciate meaningful music with a whole lotta heart. It's not so much a request to be listened to as someone insisting to be felt. With this release, Niels Rahder shows that a true artist constantly evolves, making this the ideal anthem for those ready to rise above the noise and embrace something real.
