“Revival (Interlude)” is the 8th track on Em’s ninth studio album, Revival. It serves as the sole track that features no vocals from Eminem himself and is the 2nd shortest song at 51 seconds, the shortest being “Remind Me (Intro)” at 26 seconds.

The elegant vocals featured are sung by alternative pop singer/songwriter Alicia Lemke, who performed under the stage name Alice and the Glass Lake. She unfortunately passed away in 2015, due to leukemia.

“Revival (Interlude)” can be concluded as the “title track” of the album, although it is an interlude and doesn’t feature any vocals from Em whatsoever. It’s also worth noting that the album title “Revival” was used in memory of Alicia Lemke.

In an interview with producers Frequency & Aalias who also produced (Frequency) and co-produced (Aalias), “The Monster”, they said that it was recorded in 2013 during “The Marshall Mathers LP 2” recording sessions (2 years before Alice’s death). The instrumental was created and inspired by Regina Spektor’s “Human the Year”, which was originally formatted for Eminem to rap over. They were given positive feedback and was told to hold the record and not to pass the beat, but it didn’t make it onto MMLP2 or Shady XV, till six months before the release of “Revival”. They were asked to send the stems of the beat, and then several months go by without any confirmation till “Revival” ads begin to surface.

A week or two before the album was released, they were informed that the song made it as an interlude, also coming to the realization that Eminem may have written verses for the song, but wasn’t pleased with the final result.
