Ōtautahi Christchurch-based artist ROONIE has dropped her heavenly pop debut EP LOVELESS.
Created in collaboration with Auckland-based producer Will Henderson, LOVELESS is a collection of four vibrant, self-reflective tracks that are all about expressing strength and self-confidence.
An empowering upbeat journey for the listener that ends with the recently released pop-ballad ‘The Way It Should Be’ (Apple Music International ‘New in Pop’ Playlist Germany and Austria, NZ radio play). Other previously released singles include ‘Alibi’ (Juice TV, NZ radio play, TV One Lates), ‘Something Bout’ You’ (NZ radio play, NZOA Fresh Cuts/Puoro Hau Playlist), and newly released anthemic title track ‘Loveless’.
“‘Loveless’ is a fun dance-pop anthem which, ironically, is based around the feeling of finding someone who doesn’t make you feel loveless anymore,” says ROONIE. Written and recorded across covid-19 lockdowns and moving cities, the artist says she’s gone through huge personal growth throughout the process of creating LOVELESS and is happy to be releasing it. “I have changed so much as an artist and person since I first started, and am now just excited to keep writing and recording music. There’s more from ROONIE to come!”
