belle of the fall, “rise up”

Indie folk duo Belle of the Fall has come out with a new airy and luscious single that is blowing all of us here at Imperfect Fifth away. It features intimate harmonies and chord progressions that highlight the talent of fantastic artists Tracy Walton and Julia Autumn Ford. These two artists are able to weave together several different instrumental pieces alongside vocals that are all beautifully wound together. Lyrically, their music speaks to the public and tries to pierce the very heart of our society. Uncertainty, hardship and facing the unknown are all topics that humanity have to combat and this song, perfectly written, inspires the weary and mends the broken soul.

After having their start in the heart of Connecticut and being brought together to produce Julia’s solo album in 2014, this group has taken off and taken control of indie pop rock alternative scene. Although both of these artists wrestled with continuing as solo artists, they decided to form a duo and have since then found the success that they couldn’t have found apart. Now, more than 150 gigs later they are getting ready to release their next full-length album Rise Up on April 6. This duo is for sure headed in the right direction.

Perhaps one of the only positive things people residing in the United States  can glean from 2017 is the amount of inspired music that has been created over the past 16 months or so. Not one to be outdone, pop artist Darja has released a compelling and beautiful track titled “Rise Up”. Admits Darja of the track:

“Rise Up” is about shaking off the last remnants of past trauma, about shedding the old skin to be reborn into a new stronger, lighter, more confident and positive self. There are people out there who have gone through much tougher life experiences than I have and I want this song to be their song, I want it to give strength and inspiration to those who need it the most.

A song that utilizes its smooth production quality and effortless infectious vibe to inspire its listeners, “Rise Up” is an absolute pop dream. And if you’re already feeling confident and ready for whatever is to come, the dance club beat will keep you partying for a while, whether you intended to or not.
