Ross Learmonth’s ‘Opposites’ Is a Catchy Love Letter to the Beautiful Mess of Relationships
If you’ve ever fallen for someone totally different from you—and somehow it just works—then Ross Learmonth’s new single “Opposites” will hit you right in the feels. The Johannesburg-born artist, best known as the former frontman of Prime Circle, is in full solo stride, and this latest release is as catchy as it is heartfelt.
“Opposites” has that special kind of spark: it’s playful, emotional, and seriously addictive. Think Hozier meets Imagine Dragons, with a touch of that raw storytelling vibe that makes Jeremy Loops and Matthew Mole so beloved. It’s easy to sing along to, but the lyrics will sneak up on you and make you think.
Inspired by his parents’ love story and his own romantic rollercoasters, Ross dives into the complexities of how different personalities can actually bring out the best (and sometimes worst) in each other. “It’s not always the case, but sometimes, opposites attract—and it’s magical,” he says. Honestly? Relatable.
The way the track came together is also kinda beautiful. Ross describes the song like it was just floating in the air, waiting to be caught. “It was in the room, and it wanted to be written,” he says, crediting his engineer Mark Beiling for helping him lock it down in the moment. Shoutout to the dream team, Rusti Rossouw and Tristan Carmichael (working from the UK!), who helped polish this one into the radio hit it’s becoming.
Speaking of which, “Opposites” has already been charting across some of South Africa’s top stations and made it onto big Apple Music playlists. And if you’ve been lucky enough to catch Ross live lately—maybe at Kirstenbosch or even opening for The Goo Goo Dolls (yes, those Goo Goo Dolls!)—you’ll know just how electric this track feels on stage.
Ross has a string of live dates this April and May, with a stop in Cyprus later this year (big moves!). And there’s more to come: a moodier single is dropping in May, followed by a full album either later this year or early next.
For now, though, “Opposites” is the perfect reminder that love is weird, wild, and worth it—even if it doesn’t make perfect sense on paper.
