ROJS Shares New Single ‘Stockholm’
Alternative music artist ROJS returns with his sophomore single ‘Stockholm’ to captivate listeners.
Born and raised in Slovenia, ROJS currently navigates between London and Los Angeles. He delivers a uniquely alternative style that showcases his effortless lyricism and splendid production taste with versatility and creativity.
‘Stockholm’ evokes the stillness of the nocturnal hours in a raw and introspective ballad. The track is a confluence of personal reflection and the universal pulse of emotion, crafted with a sound as revealing as a journal page. ROJS‘s artistry, influenced by a spectrum from the unconventional to the timeless, weaves a tapestry of sound that is both poignant and sincere. This resonance captures the essence of a generation seeking kinship in shared emotional depths.
Now, as ROJS‘s presence expands, ‘Stockholm’ is more than a song; it’s a piece of his journey, sharing stories and emotions that resonate with anyone who’s ever found themselves lost in thought at 4 am. Vocals, electric guitar, piano, mellotron, electric piano, and drums are all used to produce the alternative track. ROJS’ introspective and moody vibes throughout the track make ‘Stockholm’ a memorable listen.
‘Stockholm’ is taken from his forthcoming debut album, Inner Lights, set to release this summer. ROJS has been working on this particular track for some time. He began writing some of the lyrics and instrumentation for the track in a hotel room in Sydney. It was one of the first tunes that showed potential for him. It was completed after his previous relationship turned sour. They had a lot of unresolved issues and frequent arguments, but he felt that he could not leave the relationship. It was long-distance, and many of the lyrics were written on his nightly train rides home. He was fortunate to have saved enough money saved to record part of the song during his first time in London at Abbey Road Studios. Since then, he has changed the song quite a bit. The lyrics were finalized on a plane ride to Los Angeles. That was his first time there, so to make it memorable, he rented a studio at The Village, where the final vocals were recorded.
On the song, ROJS comments, “Stockholm is about being stuck in a bad relationship that is kind of abusive but you are too drawn towards it to give up on it.”
With the release of his latest single ‘Stockholm’, ROJS continues to shape his timeless sound and connective music with an ever-growing audience. 2024 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the emerging artist.

Elijah Cruise’s EP ‘Dark Romance’ Turns Late-Night Longing Into Cinematic Alt-Pop
If there’s one thing Elijah Cruise understands, it’s how to turn feelings into a vibe—and Dark Romance is exactly that: a late-night, headphones-on, main-character kind of record that pulls you in without overthinking it.
This debut EP doesn’t try to reinvent anything. Instead, it leans into mood, atmosphere, and that slightly chaotic kind of romance that feels a little too intense but also kind of addictive. It’s the soundtrack to night drives, blurry city lights, and emotions you’re not totally ready to unpack.
“Learn To Float” stands out as the heart of the project. It’s dreamy, hypnotic, and quietly emotional, built around the idea of letting go when everything feels overwhelming. There’s something effortlessly relatable in its softness, it doesn’t try too hard, and that’s exactly why it works.
Beyond that, Dark Romance flows as a whole rather than a collection of standout singles. The songs blend into each other, creating a consistent, cinematic atmosphere that feels immersive and easy to get lost in. Nothing feels out of place, it’s all part of the same late-night world.
You can definitely hear touches of Lana Del Rey, Arctic Monkeys, and The Neighbourhood in the DNA, but it never feels forced. It’s more like a familiar mood, reimagined in a way that feels fresh and personal.
What makes this EP land is how easy it is to connect with. Whether you’re overthinking, daydreaming, or just vibing, Dark Romance meets you there.
It’s simple, emotional, and effortlessly cool and sometimes, that’s exactly what you want.
