New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Alternative artist M.Rivers released "Don't Drink the Water," an alt-rock single that incorporates suspense and questioning, as noted in song's title. "Don't Drink the Water" is now available on digital music platforms worldwide.
"Don't Drink the Water" emulates "Champion," M.Rivers' previous single, as they share a similar emphasis on bass heavy production, and sharp and fervent vocals that encapsulate and hypnotize. "The idea behind, 'Don't Drink the Water' is to challenge us to think for ourselves and the information we are given in regards to our livelihood and well-being of others and our planet," M.Rivers explains. He wants listeners to question the information that is presented to them by the media and government because we are being manipulated. This single was produced by the multi-platinum selling musician and founder of Parts + Labor Records, Jimmy Messer. Messer wrote, produced and toured around the globe with Grammy winning artists such as AWOLNATION, Enrique Iglesias, Miley Cyrus,
Kelly Clarkson and others.
