Acclaimed artist Bravo Bonez, who also goes by the alias LearningToDive, adds another unique flair to his discography with the release of his single, “Rise,” off his “Drums of War” EP. Unveiling a new dimension of his artistry, Bravo Bonez takes a bold leap away from his usual upbeat, retro, and lo-fi soundscapes to explore alternative themes with a darker, more complex sonic palette in this soulful indie gem.
“Rise” is a stunning amalgamation of psychedelia, electric frills, and rock elements that’ll have you hooked from the get-go. As the track progresses, the music begins to coalesce, forming a groovy foundation that draws listeners deeper into its mystique.
The deliberate “schizophrenic” nature mirrors the emotional turmoil of enduring prolonged hardship. Yet the chorus burst forth with euphoria—a stark contrast to the uneasiness that permeates.
Co-produced with Greg Haver, “Rise” is a testament to the creative synergy between two talents. Clint Murphy’s expertise in engineering and mixing adds the finishing touches, creating a balanced sonic palette that draws you further into LearningToDive’s world.
At its core, “Rise” tells the powerful narrative of life’s journey, with all its trials and tribulations, suffering, and deceit. But in the face of such challenges, the song becomes an anthem of resilience, urging us to rise above the noise, no matter what life throws our way.
Bravo Bonez has truly outdone himself with ‘Rise,’ making it evident that he doesn’t shy away from venturing into uncharted musical territories. Whether you find solace in contemplating life’s complexities or revel in the joy of discovering new sounds, ‘Rise’ is an absolute gem that deserves a spot on your playlist!
