Check out the new song from Blue Stahli featuring Emma Anzai of Sick Puppies

February 19, 2015

Blue Stahli has released a new song, Not Over Til We Say So and it features Emma Anzai of Sick Puppies on bass and backing vocals. Check out this infectious new track that fuses a multitude of genres to deliver a fierce electronic hard rock favorite: That is one killer track with high energy rock blazing throughout. This latest single from Stahli comes directly off of his upcoming sophomore LP, The Devil. The track hoists the sophistication of AWOLNATION, while culminating the energy of The Prodigy and the power of Periphery. “Not Over Til We Say So” is a song that captures the best of both the electronic and heavy rock ‘n’ roll world. Blue Stahli comments on the song, “‘Not Over Til We Say So’ is pretty much what Blue Stahli is all about — taking a bunch of disparate genres and smashing ’em all together into a cohesive track, In the overall electronic rock umbrella of this song, it jumps from thrash metal to glitch hop to straight up pop with catchy vocal hooks galore.” Emma Anzai [Read More]
