"Rise Up" is starting to bubble...

Just like "World Hold On" started to gain popularity in Pop/Hip Hop clubs... Rise Up is starting to bubble as well... Can this make it to pop radio? You never know....

If its the same Rise up im thinking of with the Jesus reference and the Diva house sound.... It wouldnt have a chance for us. There is so much better Dance out there,,,, look beyond the U.S and look a few years back to bring some life back to some overlooked and forgotten tracks....

Im talking about Yves LaRock - Rise Up

We beat that one up last year. It's a fun, well structured song.

Oh I See... Yeah thats a good song... i think gary Pine, the Jamacan singer in most Bob Sinclar songs sings the vocals.... not not ago, the song actually blew up in Puirto Rico of all places.... Id like to see it take off, but it is pretty old now,,,, but its new to CHR listeners.

It took a year or so but I do believe that "Rise Up" could actually start a trend of danceable Jamaican flavored songs. Unlike "World Hold On", this has a more tropical feel.

Pulse 87 is playing another song that has that feel to it. I'd also take a look out for Fontana's "Live It" as well. It's pretty "dead on" to what Yves LaRock had done.

"Rise Up" blew up in a number of Latin American countries, probably b/c of the Tropical feel you'd mentioned. It was played a lot on the radio in countries like Colombia

For the record, Gary Pine sang "Love Generation", Steve Edwards did "World Hold On" and "Together". And what the heck, even though it wasn't a Caribbean sound, Dollarman and Big Ali did "Rock This Party".

Hopefully the CHR's take further notice with Yves LaRock.

I think I might put this in rotation, but id have better luck waiting till spring-Summer to add it,,,, You would be surprised how some songs can be more popular if they are released at certain times of the year... For Instance, do you think Kid Rocks-All Summer long would have been a hit if released in November-December,, and also notice that around Sept and October that song just died and disappeared.

I have to correct myself here....the name is Fentura with "Live It"

I think that Rise Up is a great song, but isnt it almost two years old already?

I heard another song with a similar feel to it: R.I.O. "When The Sun Comes Down"

i realize that, but the original quote implied Gary did most of Sinclar's vocals. I can only recall the one song u pointed out. Steve seems like the more appropriate answer. =D

That's why I had wanted to state that, regarding Pine and Edwards

And that RIO song, that was the one I was thinking of but forgot about!

Yves Larock f/Jaba -Rise Up (Radio Edit) (Summer 2007)

NOT GARY PINE or STEVE EDWARDS. Research before misinforming.

Reminds me of an overheard conversation about our Mayor who is being investigated for relations with an intern from the State Capitol. The intern claimed to have kissed the Mayor in a bathroom but I heard people talking about the Mayor taking this guy to a bathouse. Bathroom - Bathhouse - two very different places.

I was referring to Bob Sinclar (not Rise Up), since the name was brought up....but wow, now we're really off subject!

Rise up was in regular rotation for a while back in march- june on power 96 in miami..
