“He’ll Be There”
RiZen
DAF Entertainment Group / Tyscot
By Robert M. Marovich
Although Adriann Lewis-Freeman has carved out a solo career, it’s been a few years since the Stellar Award-winning RiZen vocal group has come together to release a new single. The drought is over with “He’ll Be There.”
Co-written by Adriann and her brother Ay’Ron Lewis (he also produced the track), “He’ll Be There” is a song of encouragement set to an outsized musical foundation, though with clearly discernable traditional leanings.
The ladies harmonize first and then get downright evangelical on the vamp. After a recording hiatus of several years, Adriann, Aundrea, Ashley, and Kanika have definitely trumpeted their return. It should do very well on radio. That is to say, RiZen has risen!
