Rise ft. Leah CulverExcision & Jessica Audiffred
When many people hear ‘hard-hitting EDM,’ they probably picture tracks that emphasize rhythm and sound design.
Of course, those kinds of works are great too, but some listeners might crave something more melodic—or even bass-heavy EDM that puts the vocals front and center.
For those people, I recommend ‘Rise ft.
Leah Culver.
‘ Up to the build-up it’s melodious, even featuring guitar sounds, and when the drop hits, it suddenly turns aggressive.
The way the drop is slightly drawn out also teases you in just the right way—absolutely irresistible.
