A vibrant EDM single that’ll have you grooving beneath the summer sun.
German Sven Blaikz is a multi-talented artist who founded his personal project Blaikz in 2014 “after having worked as a ghost-producer for other artists for a long time.” Blaikz has earned over 250k monthly listeners on Spotify and has collaborated with various artists, including Crystal Rock, KALUMA, Marc Kiss, Basti M, Kilian K, Blaze U, Svniivan, and Calmani & Grey. More recently, Blaikz teamed up with German EDM artist Toby DEE, a DJ and producer whose work “combines his unique performance with his own hard dance tunes and inspires numerous festival visitors in Europe.” Along with Berlin-based EDM singer-songwriter lisawanderlust, an artist whose distinctive sound is inspired by her globe-trotting adventures, the trio created the EDM single “Rise & Shine.”
With an ultra-infectious blend of emotive beats and dance-inducing pop elements, “Rise & Shine” delivers a delightfully energetic hyperpop soundscape that’s ready to sweep you off your feet. Lyrics like “I really envied the sun, But now I’m the one to shed the light” and “I couldn’t stand, couldn’t run, But I fixed my broken wings to fly” reflect on pushing through hardships and not letting our struggles weigh us down. Fueled by its feel-good narrative and no shortage of sweet summery vibes, Blaikz, Toby DEE, and lisawanderlust gift us with a vibrant EDM single that’ll have you grooving beneath the summer sun. So, press play, crank up the volume, and get ready to “Rise & Shine.”
