Bliss n Eso went green on "The Sea is Rising", the third single from Flying Colours, the Australian hip-hop trio's third album, out through Illusive Sounds in 2008 with John Butler Trio riding shotgun. The subject is global warming: the water climbing because the ice is melting, and the ice melting because pollution keeps heating the air.
Underneath, the track is a reworked version of the Delfonics' "Ready Or Not", which gives the sermon an old-school warmth. The video runs close to seven minutes, following the crew down a street as a crowd builds behind them and parking them on a beach while TV screens replay pollution's damage. It peaked at No. 80 on the ARIA singles chart and hung around for four weeks, but it had staying power: five years on it was certified gold.
