Rise and Fall is the debut full-length album by Tim Halperin, released on September 27, 2011. [1] It reached No. 1 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter Chart, [2] and debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. [3]
Halperin had started work on the album over a year earlier, only to put the release date on hold to fulfill his Idol contract. [4] He spent much of 2010 working on the recordings with producer Jordan Critz (The Fray, Third Eye Blind and Lifehouse). [4] According to Halperin, "With this record, because it's my first full-length album, I wanted to make sure that it was the most me. That it had songs on it that I felt like best represented who I am, not only as a songwriter, but as a person." [1]
Rise and Fall was released on September 27, 2011. [1] It rose to No. 1 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter Chart, [2] and held that position for 4 days. [3] Rise and Fall also debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. [3] [5] The CD underwent a second official release on December 6, 2011. [6] The first track on the album, "All You Got," was written for Kidd's Kids, with all proceeds going to the organization. [4]
His first single for Rise and Fall and one of the first tracks recorded for the album, [1] "The Last Song," as of September 26, 2011 was in the top ten on the Singer-Songwriters Songs chart on iTunes. [1]
For the music video of "The Last Song" fans donated a budget of $8,000. According to a description of the scenes, "Halperin crawls through his piano, then wanders through a field, drives an old convertible down a suburban road, wanders across a movie set, finds himself at a birthday party and plunges underwater. He eventually winds up in a forest at night, wearing a white suit and coattails as people dance underneath bright lights hanging from trees." [7]
