Rochee Drops Infectious New Single “T.F.”
Rochee is a singer/songwriter/producer from Brooklyn, NYC, who blends his experience performing/writing for rock bands, pop groups and R&B groups to create a unique alternative R&B sound that is original and incredibly catchy. His music creates sonic landscapes for the listener to get lost in, as can be heard on his brilliant new single, “T.F.”, which was co-written with Oscar/Grammy/Golden Globe award-winning songwriter Anthony Rossomando.
The rhythmic track draws attention immediately with its atmospheric, toe-tapping beat and Rochee’s smooth, hypnotic vocals alongside a string of lush melodies, which all work in tandem to create an irresistible soundscape. “T.F.” kicks off Rochee’s 2023 in a memorable way and sets up what promises to be an exciting year for the artist, with much more music to come, ensuring he’ll be one to watch. The track is also accompanied by an equally impressive music video.
Speaking further on the new release, Rochee says, “‘T.F.’ is the drunk dial everyone does to an ex at some point. For me, telling the story was a release of emotion at that point in my life. It was during quarantine, and my girlfriend and I had broken up, and I wanted her back. One day I sat down to write, and the chords I came up with sounded like a sad drunk dial. The song pretty much wrote itself after that.” “T.F.” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://levelmusic.lnk.to/Rochee.

A song written during months of recovery from spinal surgery might be expected to sound a little heavy. jon scott’s “YOU ARE SO REAL” takes a different route.
The single came together while scott was bedbound and working through rehabilitation. It reflects the support he received from family, friends and others who reached out, as well as the happiness of returning to creative work. Yet the finished track is not weighed down by that story. It sounds like someone who has found a reason to put the kettle on, turn up the music and enjoy the day.
The retro-inspired production gives it a relaxed, classic feel, while the vocals keep things upbeat and joyful. The chorus is direct, and the instrumental section lets the song settle into its own rhythm.
That contrast is what makes the track interesting. The circumstances behind it are serious, but the song itself is about what makes life worth celebrating. It is not trying to turn recovery into a dramatic musical statement. Instead, it takes the support that helped scott through and gives it a joyous soundtrack.
“YOU ARE SO REAL” is a song about feeling better, but it gets there through a good mood rather than a heavy explanation. That is a refreshing way to approach a subject that could easily have gone in another direction. Have a listen for yourself below, courtesy of Now Listen.
