The Voice of the Unexpected – Sone’s Emotional ‘Rollercoaster’ Breaks Every Rule

Published

on

When Sone sings, you don’t just hear her—you feel her. In her new single “Rollercoaster”, the rising Popera star offers more than a catchy hook or a flashy beat. She gives us something rare in today’s pop landscape: a raw, cinematic confession wrapped in theatrical grandeur. From the first line—“Why am I so emotional?”—it’s clear this isn’t your average heartbreak anthem. It’s something bolder: a reclamation of vulnerability as strength.

Sone’s background reads like a fairytale of cultures and contrasts. Born in the U.S., raised between New York and Russia, she was performing at the Kremlin by age 10 and filling stadiums by 15. Trained at the Manhattan School of Music and later in Germany, her classical voice was destined for the opera stage. But the digital age had other plans. Her genre-crossing, impromptu performances—often delivered in restaurants and city streets—turned her into a viral sensation, and gave her a global audience hungry for something different.

“Rollercoaster” is a culmination of that difference. Produced in Paris with French engineer Théo Laurent-Vitale, the track fuses pop’s emotional immediacy with classical control. The production is lush and layered, but never overcrowded—it lifts her voice, letting it move with the lyrics like waves rising and crashing. You can hear influences like Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish in the emotional candor, but make no mistake: this is unmistakably Sone.

Lyrically, the track is a love letter to the messy, beautiful chaos of being human. What began as a private journal entry became a declaration. “There are so many times I’ve felt this way,” Sone shares. “I wanted to write a song that honored the highs and lows—and the strength it takes to ride them.” The line “If you don’t like my rollercoaster—go ride a different one” lands like a mic drop, equal parts sass and self-liberation.

What makes Sone so captivating isn’t just her voice—it’s her fearlessness. In a world of filtered perfection, she’s offering something far more rare: authenticity at full volume. She’s not trying to fit into a genre—she’s building her own. And with “Rollercoaster”, she invites us all onto the ride, no matter how wild it gets.

With over 300,000 Instagram followers and 120,000 TikTok fans, Sone’s trajectory is only going up. But more importantly, she’s bringing something new to the table—a bridge between grandiosity and grit, drama and intimacy. If this single is any indiction, Popera’s next evolution has officially begun, and Sone is leading the charge.

Kingdom Kome x RUEN see the “Cracks In The Foundation”

Published

Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video).  “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap.  As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today.  It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.  

Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together.  A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”

Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado.  This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.

Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
