We recently featured Allan Jamisen as he manifested a conscious journey of hope through the trials of an illusionary reality with his sophomore single, Living the Dream. Naturally, we wanted to make sure we covered his discography as fully as possible and also feature his debut single, Rise Above!
Drawing us in with a sublime guitar soundscape, Allan Jamisen opens Rise Above with his signature brooding timbre as he sings, “Next in line, a new day arrives, another blessing in disguise, try to survive and when the day is done, digging deep to rise above…”
Th opus expands with stunning female vocal harmonies as the talented singer and writer shares his optimistic perspective and cinematic allure with us. “Turning hate into love, I’m always gonna rise above…” he sings consciously with poetic prowess.
We deeply connect with the intentional nature of the song, and the electric guitar solo is simply divine! The spiritual nature of what he conveys is very philosophical as the learned artists transmutes his wisdom with lines like, “Well I see my soul from outside of myself and I’m looking inside…”
Once again, the track was produced with John X Volaitis, who is a veteran recording engineer and producer with a history of working with major recording artists including The Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, and Tracy Chapman to name a few.
It is extremely inspiring to witness Allan Jamisen sharing his soulful authenticity and high spiritual quotient with his art. In an age where listeners are seeking out high vibrational songs that can inspire us, serving as a mantra for our day to day lives, what Allan is bringing to life feels extremely zeitgeist and important.
We have added Rise Above to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Living the Dream and Rock & Roll American, and anticipate future releases from Allan Jamisen!
