Rumia Releases Sophomore Album Old Enough to Save Myself, Blending Trip-Hop, Acoustic Warmth, and Deep Personal Reflection

Rising alternative artist Rumia has released her long-anticipated second album, Old Enough to Save Myself, a bold and introspective project that explores themes of identity, family, and personal growth through a unique blend of melancholic trip-hop and warm acoustic textures.
The 12-track album, produced by renowned Spanish producer Manuel Colmenero, marks a significant evolution in Rumia’s sound and songwriting. Drawing influence from 90s icons like Radiohead and Mazzy Star, as well as contemporary voices including Lana del Rey and Phoebe Bridgers, the project weaves between analog intimacy and electronic ambiance.
Sung in both English and Spanish, Old Enough to Save Myself showcases Rumia’s bilingual lyricism and emotional range. The album’s centerpiece, “Kept All the Pain,” is a haunting trip-hop ballad that addresses generational trauma and emotional silence, anchored by the poignant line: “Wasn’t in my power to save them / If known, I would’ve saved myself.”
“The heart of this album is about healing,” Rumia shared in a recent statement. “It’s about breaking cycles, letting go of what hurt, and realizing I’m no longer responsible for saving anyone but myself.”
Additional standout tracks include “Shift In The Air,” an atmospheric reflection on change and uncertainty, and “Role Model,” a powerful track accompanied by a visually stunning music video released alongside the album.
Now based in Berlin, Rumia credits the city’s music scene for influencing her shift toward more experimental, genre-blending production. Old Enough to Save Myself follows the critical success of her 2022 debut album Forget Me Not, which earned her accolades from outlets including Earmilk and Fame Magazine, and secured multiple international awards for original songwriting and lyricism.
With Old Enough to Save Myself, Rumia further cements her reputation as one of the most emotionally honest and stylistically versatile voices in the alternative scene. The album is now available on all major streaming platforms.

Aro Rose Releases Emotional New Single “Live Without You” — Now Available Worldwide

Genre-blending singer/songwriter Aro Rose has officially dropped her highly anticipated new single, “Live Without You,” and it’s now streaming everywhere music lives.
A hauntingly honest track about love, loss, and letting go, “Live Without You” showcases Aro’s signature dark pop aesthetic—think cinematic piano lines, ghostly synths, and lyrics that hit where it hurts. It’s raw. It’s vulnerable. It’s that 3AM track you cry to…and then play again.
“I wrote this one straight from my gut,” Aro says. “It’s about that moment when you realize you’ve outgrown someone you thought you couldn’t live without. There’s sadness in it—but also strength.”

Self-taught and self-made, Aro Rose first turned heads with her distinctive sound that sits somewhere between Lana Del Rey’s noir romanticism and Fiona Apple’s emotional honesty. Since stepping away from the major label system, she’s carved out a fiercely independent path—and “Live Without You” is her boldest, most personal release to date.
The single is produced by longtime collaborators Gabriel Maciocia and Robert Federici, who help bring Aro’s dark visions to life with lush, atmospheric production that lets her voice shine through the shadows.
“Live Without You” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, and all major streaming platforms.
