Scarlett Fagan introduces “Arise” with the kind of soulful conviction that feels both timeless and deeply personal. The Bristol singer’s influences, Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Motown, old soul and reggae—form a rich foundation, but her own vocal character remains firmly at the center. Produced by Tom Emerald, aka Endemic, the track combines melodic rhythm with a break-driven, horn-and-organ atmosphere that allows Fagan to fully express herself. What stands out most is the emotional weight in her delivery, turning the song’s meditation on resilience and perseverance into something genuinely felt. “Arise” doesn’t simply ask you to listen; it encourages you to rise with it.
