New release alert! ‘Rise’ is the fantastic new single (matda030) from an upcoming album by Swedish favorites Azure Blue. A shimmering track with a rushing drumbeat topped by luxurious layers of analog synths and a Peter Hook-like bass, the song is a dream pop anthem featuring a timeless chorus and vocal harmonies from Azure Blue’s long time companion The Land Below.
The single also includes ‘Define Your Dreams’—a bright flare first previewed during the dark days of the pandemic with massive synth walls and lyrics that suggest that while difficult times have passed, more difficult ones may be coming.
The forthcoming album ‘The Night of the Stars’ promises a more luxurious form of the patented Azure Blue sound: richer, clearer, and more powerful than ever.
In the meantime, ‘Rise’ is available right now in the Matinée shop and other digital retailers, and you can stream it on the player below:
