Alison Mosshart Shares Solo Single ‘Rise’

"When the sky is coming down on ya / baby don’t look back / we will rise..."

The Kills singer Alison Mosshart has shared new solo single 'Rise'.

Rightly lauded for her menacing, ice cold role fronting The Kills, the singer also played a key role in The Dead Weather.

Working extensively in the fashion arena, Alison Mosshart took time out in 2019 to focus on new solo material.

New single 'Rise' is the result. Out now, the track has its roots in a case of long distance longing, and features some of her most affecting vocals to date.

She sings: “When the sky is falling/ and the sun is black / when the sky is coming down on ya / baby don’t look back/we will rise…”

Alison explains: “I didn’t ever forget it. I remember right where I was when I wrote it, sitting at my desk in London, missing someone badly.”

Recorded in LA alongside producer Lawrence Rothman, you can check out 'Rise' below.
