Melbourne alt-pop/rock band The Engagement unleash their anthemic new single ‘Closure’ lifted from their five-years-in-the-making EP ‘Shattered Illusion.’ A moody pop/rock anthem, ‘Closure’ explores the strength it takes to let go, heal and start over.
Inspired by a fractured COVID-era friendship, the track was written as a way to process betrayal and the path to forgiveness. The single features rising LGBTQIA+ artist Kaiyah Mercedes, whose haunting vocals add depth and emotional intensity. A psychological thriller-inspired music video accompanies the release, amplifying the track’s dark, cinematic energy.
‘Closure’ ft. Kaiyah Mercedes is out now everywhere on all streaming platforms.
