After their appearance at May's Eurovision Song Contest grand final, The Rasmus have shared a brand-new single, Rise.
”Rise is about the struggle of fighting a battle against depression,” explains vocalist Lauri Ylönen. ”COVID was the last straw for many people having mental health issues, including myself. In the music video the dancers playing 'the roots' represent the evil force and they are trying to pull us down underground. Still, the song has a positive message, which is not to give up no matter how hard life treats you.”
Like Eurovision entry Jezebel, Rise was co-written and produced by songwriter Desmond Child. It'll presumably feature on The Rasmus' upcoming album – which is also called Rise – due out on September 23 via Playground Music.
