Canadian bass music legend and HypnoVizion label head Rezz releases her new goth-tinged single ‘Embers’ featuring vocalist Raven Gray. ‘Embers’ serves as the third and final single from Rezz’s forthcoming IT’S NOT A PHASE EP, due out this summer.
Swirling with the alternative rock references of her youth and the modern electronic tendencies that have driven her catalog, ‘Embers’ is a masterful original that embodies the rocktronic genre Rezz has helped forge. Showing the diverse range of her upcoming EP, Rezz wraps Raven Gray’s angsty vocals with dark guitars, haunting synths, and deep percussive kicks. An emotionally-wrought original from the pair of LGBTQ+ musicians, ‘Embers’ is timed to coincide with Pride Month.
Regarding the track, Rezz says, “After I heard Raven’s vocal acapella, the instrumental flowed out of me very naturally and quickly. This is a different song than what people would expect from me, but it’s a song I personally love and I’m stoked for it to be a part of IT´S NOT A PHASE.”
Raven Gray adds, “When I wrote the lyrics to this song, I was saturated in pain, yet surrounded by hope. ‘Embers’ is about using the glass in my life to build a home. Even when I was lost in the dark clinging onto nothing, there was always a spark in the ashes. I want everyone who listens to remember that. With massive gratitude and love to Rezz and her whole team on my first collaboration of the year I am honored to present ‘Embers’.”
