Emelda Stand Tall

Gospel-anthem with driving handclaps, stomping kick pulse, and soaring choir swells; verse rides tense piano and low toms, pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies and rising claps, chorus lifts into full gang vocals and call-and-response. Lead vocal is close-mic and fierce in verses, doubled and rounded by choir on hooks, with delay throws on key phrases. Add airy organ pads, reversed cymbal swells into each chorus, and a final lift with tambourine and clap breaks. Bright, cinematic, and massive in the mix.
