*UPDATE*
Katy Perry’s official music video for ‘Rise‘ has just been released check it out below.
Perry has just dropped a new single ‘Rise‘ on the 14th July 2016, however it is a standalone single. Its been three years since we last had music from Perry with her album ‘Prism‘. The new single has been released in the wake of the Rio Olympics and is definitely an anthem for the athletes. In an interview about ‘Rise‘, Perry stated that the track is “a song that has been brewing inside me for years, that has finally come to the surface”, she wanted to release Rise as a standalone track instead of including it on an album because now more than ever, there is a need for our world to unite” she also added:
“I can’t think of a better example than the Olympic athletes, as they gather in Rio with their strength and fearlessness, to remind us how we ALL can come together, with the resolve to be the best we can be. I hope this song can inspire us to heal, unite and rise together. I am honored that NBC Olympics has chosen to use ‘Rise’ as an anthem before and during the Rio Games“
The single has been released for streaming on Apple Music and for download on iTunes, if you like me have Android then you will have to listen to it via YouTube. The single is uplifting with a huge chorus, it’s about victory and rising above opponents. It’s not bad but it is yet to grow on me, see for yourself below.
