“Rise” is a special album as it’s my first lyrical collection, with each song embodying its own unique essence. The inspiration for each track comes from the human experience—what we go through in life, the moments of doubt, and the inner voice that urges us to “hold on, you will rise above.” I felt this was especially relevant with what we have been going through as a collective in recent years, as we’ve all been called to move beyond our limitations and fears".

"In this album, I explore themes of resilience, hope, and transformation. Each song is a journey, capturing the essence of overcoming obstacles, embracing change, and finding strength within. Whether it’s starting fresh or letting go of the past, “Rise” is a testament to the power of the human spirit and our collective ability to rise above challenges" - Mei-lan
