Marie Dahlstrom, Dan Diggas and Aligo preview new EP with latest single "Rising"

"Rising" is the second track to be lifted from 4inARow, following last month's lead single "Fall Down".

Canadian rapper Aligo says of the song, ""Rising" to me feels like the song you hear at the end of a good movie. It tells the second chapter of a love story after the initial spark: Honeymoons and bright flames. An ode to people in love, the lyrics definitely put you in that feel good space and remind the people that might not be in love at the moment, that there is something for everyone out there. It's about when the moment comes and the temperature rises."

Dahlstrom adds, "Dan's beat reminded me a bit of butterflies in the stomach when I’m love, and that’s what went on to inspire my lyrics for the track."

4inARow began as an experimental project in which the collaborators aimed to create four tracks across four nights. All the songs were recorded between 8pm and midnight across those four days in January 2020, with Dan Diggas leading on production while Dahlstrom and Aligo shared vocal duties.

Aligo says of the recording process, "Marie and I lived in the JFH flat for a little over a year and after a few months we figured out a way for us to really tap in and make music together. We told ourselves every night for four straight days we are going to tackle a pack of beats that Dan made while he was on tour with Mahalia. Theme-wise there wasn't a plan at first but we knew we wanted to explore different emotions and feelings with each night that passed. By the end we noticed the songs came together in a cohesive way that demonstrated a four stage cycle of love/relationships."
