As a writer and music fan, RISE’s “Dreams” exactly captures that spark of hope when you’re feeling down. Sam Kinley, Paul Kinley, Alex Mahoney and Brian Petch have released a single that’s simply and undeniably full of joy. I love this song, recorded in Whitewood Studios with Rob Whiteley, because it starts with a strong and uplifting beat.
From the start, dazzling ‘80s synths and punchy guitars blend, forming a sound that comforts and at the same time bursts with energy. You can hear the honesty in Sam Kinley’s voice and Paul Kinley’s songs fill our ears with the passion and boldness of Blondie, paired with the new wave and strong pop sounds of the ‘80s. The music is full of closeness and the harmonies and drums help fuse the sounds together.
The part that stands out to me is the soulful lyrics and melody. It involves aiming for what you hope for without a plan and the unsettling excitement of moving forward. There have been nights when I couldn’t rest, dreaming big and “Dreams” makes me feel successful. I keep going back to this song, since its fun melody always brightens my mood when I hear it.
Personally, I crank up “Dreams” when I want to believe there are no limits to what I can do. The song embraces the nostalgia of the 80s and is also forward-thinking and you can find it on Spotify and other streaming channels now. When you feel like you can conquer anything, this has the power to mobilize you. I can’t wait to see what this band does next after this fantastic tune.
