Impact Sound Lab Unveils New Single ‘Rise Up England (We Shall Never Surrender)’
Sport and music have long shared the power to unite communities, and Impact Sound Lab’s latest release embraces that connection wholeheartedly. Rise Up England (We Shall Never Surrender) – Radio Edit arrives as a bold, emotionally charged anthem that celebrates the passion and resilience of England’s supporters.
From its opening moments, the single establishes an arena-sized atmosphere through driving guitars, cinematic arrangements and an infectious chorus designed for thousands of voices to sing in unison. The production feels intentionally larger than life, balancing rock influences with modern studio precision to maximise its emotional impact.
Songwriter David Matheson and producer Norm Sabourin draw upon extensive experience across multiple genres, resulting in a track that remains melodic despite its scale. Their ability to blend powerful instrumentation with accessible songwriting gives the anthem a broad appeal that extends well beyond football audiences.
The song’s emotional core lies in Matheson’s personal story. Dedicated to his late father, whose military service and memories of England’s 1966 World Cup victory shaped the songwriter’s love of the game, the single carries an authenticity that elevates it beyond a typical sporting soundtrack.
Ultimately, Rise Up England (We Shall Never Surrender) is less about predicting trophies than celebrating belief itself. It is an uplifting reminder that football’s greatest moments are built upon hope, unity and the unwavering support that continues long after the final score is decided.
Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!
Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.
First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
