You know a song is unique when it feels like a hug. That's precisely what RISE's new single "The Way You Make Me Feel," an uplifting, soul-soothing, positivity-radiating anthem. "The Way You Make Me Feel" is like a long-term relationship; it takes effort and support to keep things moving in a good direction. Things change; people change… but to work it out and stick it out that's the best part.
Engineered at Whitewood Studios in Liverpool and produced by Rob Whitely, the song harnesses the hallmarks of RISE glimmering guitars, the field of texture-rich synths, and impactful rhythmic work. The Andean magic deepens with the smooth vocals and bass lines of Sam Kinley, a.k.a. Stay Mellow, who continues the creative partnership that started with their 2024 release Memories and Possibilities.
The beating heart of RISE: Alex Mahoney (drums), Brian Petch (guitars), and Paul Kinley (synths) bring their game, weaving that unique soundscape that feels both fresh and familiar. With an earworm hook and a wink toward prog-rock via a meticulously constructed 5/4 bridge-solo section, the song thrives between complexity and raw, unfiltered feeling.
RISE also bestows a much-needed perspective in a world dominated by instant gratification, a fundraising anthem thanking those who stand firm next to us without volition. Whitely's taut production allows all the notes to sparkle, cementing this song as an instant replay-worthy gem. Get ready to hit repeat. "The Way You Make Me Feel" has arrived to lighten your playlist and improve your day.
