'Thrive' - Third LOVE IS RISING Single OUT NOW!

THRIVE is out now!

The Aleph’s LOVE IS RISING project continues with its third single, THRIVE—and this one is something truly special.

LOVE IS RISING is more than just a music project—it’s a global collaboration uniting artists from all over the world. Starting in October 2024, a new single is being introduced every month, with each song featuring different artists. The one constant is the theme: LOVE. Born out of the challenges we’ve all faced between 2020 and 2024, this project is about raising the frequency of this realm. Love is the energy that overcomes separation and division. Love never fails.

Produced entirely by The Aleph, LOVE IS RISING is about connecting through music and reminding us all: ONE LIFE. ONE LOVE. ONE DESTINY.

This month’s single, THRIVE, features the smooth Mediterranean-inspired beats of Greek-based collective CHILLONIA and a show-stopping performance by Canadian MC Hollydish.

Hollydish has always had a way with words. Born Holly Israella Fagan, her love affair with lyricism started early and became a lifelong calling. From recording and performing in Vancouver alongside some of the city’s top DJs and emcees to performing over 100 gigs in Hawaii with “Crazy Fingers” (featuring Deon Estus and Rikah), Hollydish has continually pushed boundaries with her raw honesty and empowering messages.

Her collaboration with The Aleph goes back years, starting with their album Real Eyes Realize Real Lies. Their chemistry, persistence, and shared vision have created some unforgettable music, and THRIVE is no exception. With Hollydish’s soulful, empowering lyrics and a timeless boom bap vibe, this track feels both fresh and nostalgic—a reminder of the power of music to unite and inspire.

THRIVE is more than just a song—it’s a call to action. It’s time for humanity to rise up, let go of old paradigms, and embrace the energy of love so we can finally thrive together.

Buy THRIVE via Bandcamp or this website to support the project!
