Following the dreamy introspection of “Smoke,” Italian producer and multi-instrumentalist Mouth Water continues his bold sonic journey with “Rise,” a vibrant electro-pop anthem set for release on June 27 via Through The Void Records. Marking a pivotal moment in his evolving sound, “Rise” captures the joy of rekindled connections and emotional rebirth with a radiant, festival-ready energy.
Originally penned between 2019 and 2020, “Rise” is one of the project’s most introspective works to date. Framed through metaphors of celestial rebirth and nostalgic reflection, the track explores the power of reuniting with kindred spirits—an ode to resilience, renewal, and rediscovery. Its uplifting themes are underscored by a lush, driving groove, shimmering synth textures, and a soaring vocal hook designed to echo long after the final note.
With its polished production and emotionally charged dynamics, “Rise” stands as both a heartfelt memory and an anthem for moving forward. The single encapsulates Mouth Water’s ability to blend pop sensibility with adventurous electronic sound design—melding analog warmth with a futuristic sheen.
The project is helmed by Lawrence Fancelli, whose sonic vision was shaped between Florence and New York and comes to life inside OSB Studio, a converted Tuscan farmhouse turned creative sanctuary. Since 2019, Mouth Water has emerged as one of Italy’s most exciting new voices in electronic music, earning critical acclaim for his refined blend of 80s synth-pop, house grooves, and immersive visual storytelling.
“Rise” follows a breakout year for Mouth Water. His 2024 single “Blackout” earned praise from MusicTech as “one of his most hypnotic tracks,” bolstered by four official remixes from Lindstrøm that propelled the song into international spotlight. With high-profile performances at Primavera Sound, Tenax Club (opening for Röyksopp), and a supporting run with Sophie and the Giants, Mouth Water has quickly built a reputation for mesmerizing, multi-sensory live shows.
His upcoming album, Technology Fueled Dream Obsolescence, promises to further evolve his cinematic yet club-rooted aesthetic. While previous singles like “Fireflies” and “Smoke” explored melancholy and introspection, “Rise” bursts forward with renewed optimism—bridging past and future with undeniable momentum.
Poised at the intersection of modernity and nostalgia, Mouth Water’s “Rise” is more than a song—it’s a statement of intent from an artist confidently defining the next era of electronic music.
“Rise” will be available June 27 on all major streaming platforms.
