Rise Up, KP - A New Video Is Coming This Week

This is it, Katy Perry is finally releasing her Rise music video in 2 days and so far, her music video's teaser has been uploaded to YouTube yesterday. In this video, it features Katy Perry fights a parachute. Now then, here's what Katy Perry has to say about Rise. Take it, KP.

Katy Perry: I can't think of a better example than the Olympic athletes, as they gather in Rio with their strength and fearlessness, to remind us how we ALL can come together, with the resolve to be the best we can be. I hope this song can inspire us to heal, unite, and rise together. I am honored that NBC Olympics has chosen to use ['Rise'] as an anthem before and during the Rio Games.

Thanks. Now then, according to Wikipedia, "Perry stated that the track is "a song that's brewing inside me for years, that has finally come to the surface", and wanted to release it as a standalone track instead of including it on an album "because now more than ever, there is a need for our world to unite"."

Wow, talk about Rise being a standalone single. Anyway, there is a promotional video directed by Joseph Lee which was released on July 15, 2016, using footage of various players from the Olympics. Then Katy Perry subsequently released a teaser of the official music video on July 22, 2016, showing the singer parachuting into a water body. A second teaser was released on August 1, also featuring the Roar singer using a parachute, and revealed that the video would be released three days later. That's where her official Rise music video arrived in 2 days. Sounds exciting. Let's continue.

On July 28, 2016, Katy Perry has performed Rise live at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Oh, one more thing.

Rise is a mid-tempo electronic song co-written by Katy Perry with Savan Kotecha and its producers Max Martio and Ali Payami. Oh please, another Max Martin single? How many Max Martin singles do we need, pop music? Let's move on.

In a review for Entertainment Weekly, Kevin O'Donell noted that the song "starts with brooding atmospherics and minor-key synths before exploding into a huge chorus". Katy Perry tweeted, "AUGUST 4TH we #RISE".

I would say, I'm sold. I can't wait to supprt Rise because I love Katy Perry since 2010 and I do support her music. She's my idol and a great role model. I'm really excited to hear Rise and hopefully, the music video will arrive in 2 days. Yay.

What do you think of the teaser for the music video?
