Fox De La Rose Refuses To Be Defined On ‘Nothing Is Written In Stone’

Published

on

Some artists find their sound. Others refuse to stand still long enough to settle on one. Fox De La Rose belongs firmly in the latter camp, arriving with ‘Nothing Is Written In Stone’, a nine-track album that places creative freedom at the centre of its identity. Moving between contemporary pop, rock, Britpop influences and cinematic soundscapes, the project treats genre less as a destination than a starting point. The result is a record built around the idea that a song should follow its own instincts, wherever they might lead.

That sense of movement extends beyond the music itself. Across nine tracks, Fox De La Rose traces the complicated business of being human, exploring loneliness, regret, uncertainty and the difficult process of beginning again. Opener ‘Mystery’ sets the tone with a reflection on the decisions that quietly shape our lives, before ‘Not Afraid of the Light’ turns towards change and the courage required to embrace it. There is an introspective streak running through the album, but it is balanced by an underlying determination to keep moving forward.

The record’s centrepiece is its title track, ‘Nothing Is Written In Stone’, which distils the album’s philosophy into a challenge to the idea that our past must dictate our future. Elsewhere, ‘I Don’t Chase Anymore’ explores the freedom that comes with letting go, while ‘You’re Not Alone Tonight’ offers a reminder of the importance of connection when isolation threatens to take hold. These are songs concerned with personal turning points, each approaching familiar emotional territory from a different angle rather than following a rigid musical blueprint.

There is a broader creative ambition at work here, too. Fox De La Rose embraces modern production and visual tools to build distinct musical worlds, while keeping songwriting and artistic direction at the heart of the process. That approach has already attracted international recognition, with ‘Not Afraid of the Light’ winning Best AI Pop at the World AI Music Festival and ‘You’re Not Alone Tonight’ taking Best Music Video at the Cannes Film Awards. Such accolades underline the project’s expanding creative reach, particularly in a musical landscape where the boundaries between sound, image and technology continue to shift.

Closing with ‘The Eagle Still Flies’, an exploration of resilience and rebuilding, ‘Nothing Is Written In Stone’ returns to its central conviction: no single chapter tells the whole story. Fox De La Rose may move between styles, moods and textures, but the album’s identity rests in its songwriting and its commitment to reinvention. Rather than chasing a signature sound at the expense of expression, this is a project that allows each track to find its own shape. ‘Nothing Is Written In Stone’ makes a case for keeping the creative possibilities open and refusing to let yesterday write tomorrow’s story.

Naomi Aguilera casts her spell with her new single BB ILY

Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!

Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.

First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
