A profound exploration of identity, self-discovery, and embracing life’s unique journey.
Brooklyn, New York-based musical creative Chris Kage is “a boundary-breaking writer and producer carving new terrain in music.” The artist’s “sonic identity blurs the lines of alt-pop and indie-pop, fusing an eclectic array of influences.” Before venturing into a solo career, Chris Kage shared the stage with icons like Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. These experiences not only refined his artistry but also ignited a passion for storytelling through music. Chris Kage’s latest release is the ten-track album Cycles, featuring the song “Up From The Shadows.” The new song comes with an official music video featuring singer-songwriter Joe Jury.
With a delightful blend of soft and soothing piano notes and attention-grabbing tones, “Up From The Shadows” provides the perfect contrasting backdrop to complement the tune’s thought-provoking reflection. Lyrics like “I had a dream, It was as real as could seem, I had me, Now there’s no cover in identity” and “Would you cover your eyes, When the fire is raging, Would you cover your eyes, Or would you get up and save yourself” offer a profound exploration of identity, self-discovery, and embracing life’s unique journey. With a well-crafted balance between moody moments and a hopeful sense, Chris Kage and Joe Jury gift us with an empowering pop tune about discovering the light within the darkness. So press play and let the words of “Up From The Shadows” guide your way.
