Earlier this month, The Glorious Suns released their resilient new single, “Mercy Mercy,” in partnership with Warner Music Canada and ADA along with an accompanying music video, which can be found above.
Of the single, lead singer/songwriter Brett Emmons explains, “Mercy Mercy is my own quiet little prayer. It’s me fighting through some twisted process of self-forgiveness and acceptance. It’s a glimpse into my inner dialogue, however hilarious or concerning that might sound. A friend told me that this album sounds like someone at war in their own mind. In that context, I think this song is about faith in oneself, and one’s future—even if the past is always still there.”
“Mercy Mercy” is the latest milestone in career of The Glorious Sons, and is the first track off their upcoming album, Glory, which is due out this fall.
