In time for Mother's Day, Edie Carey shares "Rise," one of several songs on her forthcoming album The Veil (out June 3, 2022) that focus on her journey to motherhood, premiering today on Folk Alley. "Carey dug into her memories of setting out to become a mother. The song she landed on wound up being as much about the often-excruciating fertility journey as it is a song to mother you, to lift up those nurturing relationships that have the power to re-center us all." - Folk Alley
"Rise" is inspired by an infertility support group that Edie hosted while living in Chicago. "I wrote this song about how I felt -and still feel - about what a privilege it is to really show up for a friend in pain, and to let them see yours - and to hold on to one another through every bit of it." It was only fitting that her friend Rose Cousins join her for the song. "[Rose]'s been my best friend for a very long time," Carey says. "She's seen me through some pretty tough times and vice-versa, so it felt just right to have her be the one."
Produced by Scott Wiley, The Veil features Mai Bloomfield (Jason Mraz, Sara Bareilles) and Megan Burtt in addition to Rose Cousins. Throughout the twelve songs set, Carey weaves her "gentle story-telling, rich with humanity and insight." (-Paste) The album, her eleventh, will be released on June 3, 2022 with tour dates to follow.
