Mick Rochford Gets Real with New Single “Killing Me Today”
Irish singer-songwriter Mick Rochford returns with something raw, honest, and impossible to ignore. His new single “Killing Me Today” offers a preview of his upcoming debut album I’ve Got Something to Say.
Rochford’s path to this moment has been years in the making. After performing across Ireland as a drummer since the 1990s, including major shows alongside Aslan, he has stepped forward as a solo artist with clarity and purpose. That shift is resonating. With more than 50,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and a playlist reach exceeding 4 million, his audience continues to grow at an impressive pace.
“Killing Me Today” takes on the difficult subject of addiction with honesty and care. The song explores alcoholism through a deeply human lens, focusing on both the personal struggle and the impact on those closest to it. There is no judgment, only understanding, reflection, and a willingness to face uncomfortable truths.
Speaking about why he wanted to release the track, Rochford says:
“This song is written to give people suffering a voice. They want to be heard and understood. It’s also written for families who equally suffer in silence and shame, who feel helpless in a hopeless situation.”
That perspective gives the song its emotional weight. It connects not only with individuals facing addiction, but also with the families and loved ones who often feel unseen.
“Killing Me Today” captures an artist who is willing to say something real and say it clearly. As anticipation builds for I’ve Got Something to Say, this release sets the tone for what is to come.
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!
