Tess Posner’s new single The Flood arrives with impact. It opens on delicate, harp-like plucks and a brief string phrase before a surge of cinematic drums and pulsing bass flips the switch. From there, the track only grows – more intense, more layered, more urgent.
The vocal is front and center – huge, emotional, and commanding. It’s got a touch of rock edge and doesn’t hold back. As the song progresses, staccato strings cut through, adding rhythm and drama that make it feel built for the big screen. There’s a momentum to it that keeps pulling you forward.
Co-produced with Grammy-nominated producer LAEL, The Flood sounds massive without losing focus. It feels like it was written for a storm scene in a movie – the kind where everything changes. And it could easily land in a game or trailer, thanks to how visceral and cinematic it is.
This isn’t a slow burn. It’s a full-body hit from the first minute. Tess Posner didn’t just write a song – she launched something that grabs you and doesn’t ease up.
