'I Rise' is the first of four promo songs released ahead of Madame X. It's been described as a "ballad" and a "pride anthem".

 

Out tomorrow but available in New Zealand already. You can hear a clip here:

If I'm honest it's not doing much for me. :( It's just kind of 'okay'. For what's supposed to be an uplifting message, it's just a bit flat. Not really seeing how its lyrics are specific to the LGBTQ community either, it's a pretty generic message.

It is very instant unlike Medellin . Very mirwais.

 

Good choice for a promo single. I like it a lot but it’s not medellin and I hope it’s not being released so Medellin is forgotten about because I love it .

 

Ninth on New Music Friday. I like it a lot more in full, still not essential listening but I can see it growing a fair bit, especially in the context of the album.

Her voice sounds dreadful like a little girl. It’s a better track than medellin but I still won’t be buying the album.

Number 86 on iTunes this morning .

 

Does not compare to medellin but it is just a grat.

On the tour this will be epic.

Her voice sounds dreadful like a little girl. It’s a better track than medellin but I still won’t be buying the album.

 

You sound like a little girl , ‘and I still won’t be buying the album’. Whinge!

I like the pre-chorus parts the most!

 

It's nice. I'm still waiting for that real "wow" moment from this era though.

I don't hate this, but I don't love it either.

 

I'm sure the album will have some absolute gems, but neither of the 2 she's released so far have impressed me massively. :(

Do we think this is the song for eurovision?

There's rumours that it is but it's all a bit up in the air at the moment, there's three songs in contention but nothing official yet.

It's fine.

 

I'm just glad the mastering is not an issue anymore.

Find myself returning to this a fair bit now actually, really starting to grow. Doesn't sound like a single but I think it will work really nicely as an album closer - if she explores some deeper themes throughout the album then this would complete the journey on something that's uplifting and easy.

I Rise is also 83 in UK .

 

Two versions in top 100.

Could this outpeak Medellin because it's had a Friday release?

You sound like a little girl , ‘and I still won’t be buying the album’. Whinge!

 

Cut the sarcastic remarks...would you rather I say it’s great when it isn’t?

it’s not a whinge. I just don’t like what I’m hearing...

Let's move on from the personal stuff please - ironically goes against the message of this song! :P
