Rol3ert (pronounced “Robert”) is making waves in the music world with his emotionally captivating single “meaning.” Released in January 2025, the track has already amassed over 400,000 views on YouTube, signaling that Rol3ert is an artist whose appeal extends far beyond his native Japan. With his unique blend of J-pop and alternative indie-pop, the song is a testament to the artist’s ability to combine traditional and contemporary sounds, creating a track that resonates with listeners globally.

What’s truly remarkable about “meaning” is how effortlessly Rol3ert blends J-pop elements with more universal indie-pop sensibilities. The track’s soaring melodies and introspective lyrics have made it a viral hit, and Rol3ert’s emotional delivery amplifies the song’s power. His voice is commanding yet vulnerable, capturing the complexity of the song’s themes. There’s an unmistakable depth to “meaning” that speaks to listeners no matter where they’re from, proving that music is a language that transcends borders.

The “meaning Remix Contest” launched on SURF MUSIC has taken the track’s journey even further, with global creators offering their own interpretations of the song. Out of thousands of submissions, Vietnamese producer KIDCOZY’s remix emerged as the winner. KIDCOZY brings an unexpected twist to “meaning,” infusing it with a gritty electric guitar riff that adds a raw, edgy energy to the track. The remix amplifies the song’s emotional power while giving it a new sonic flavor, showcasing the versatility and creativity of remix culture.

KIDCOZY’s remix introduces a bold, guitar-driven intro that immediately sets the track apart from the original. While the infectious chorus remains intact, the remix adds layers of intensity, with a new production style that brings an exciting urgency to the song. It’s a perfect example of how a remix can evolve a song, giving it new life while staying true to its emotional core. The collaboration between Rol3ert and KIDCOZY highlights the beauty of cross-cultural partnerships and the power of music to unite artists from different backgrounds.

Rol3ert’s upcoming “meaning EP” promises to build on this momentum, featuring a stripped-down piano version of the song alongside a diverse collection of remixes.
