Embrace the poignant journey of life with LearningToDive’s latest single, “Rise,” set to be released on July 14, 2023. Under the artistic identity of Bravo Bonez, producer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist, “Rise” marks the third single from the upcoming EP, “Drums of War.” Departing from his usual upbeat and retro-infused tones, Bravo Bonez delves into alternative themes with darker and more complex layers in this release.
“Rise” explores the turbulent path each individual traverses, encountering both joy and sorrow. It portrays a life marred by harassment, persecution, and deception. However, the song’s central message is one of resilience and defiance against negative thoughts, despite the inevitable end that awaits us all.
According to Bravo Bonez, the track begins and ends in an unsettling manner, deliberately leaving the listener in a state of unease. The contrasting euphoria found in the choruses serves as a representation of the schizophrenic nature that arises from prolonged persecution.
“Rise” credits Bravo Bonez as the writer and composer, co-produced alongside Greg Haver (known for his work with Manic Street Preachers and Mel C), and engineered and mixed by Clint Murphy (notable for his collaborations with Enter Shikari and 50 Cent). The drums on the track were performed by Greg Haver. The single is released under the PureSound label, recorded at PureSound Studios in New Zealand, and mastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound in Nashville, USA.
Prepare to immerse yourself in the introspective and emotive soundscape of “Rise” as LearningToDive, through the identity of Bravo Bonez, invites listeners to contemplate the resilience of the human spirit. Stay tuned for the release and be ready to embark on a musical journey that embraces the complexities of life.
