Rory returns with his new single, “WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?,” featuring the multi-talented singer-songwriter, producer, and actor Leon Thomas. More than an introduction, this song is the first taste of Rory’s highly anticipated sophomore album and the experience it’s destined to be.
From the start, listeners are drawn into a melancholic, intimate, and otherworldly soundscape. The production here is immersive, intertwining haunting melodies with atmospheric tones that enhance the reflective nature of the song. Everything flows naturally from Leon Thomas’ vocals over the instrumentation that conveys a visceral gravity, as every word sounds intensely personal. His delivery is rough but disciplined and is spot-on for the song’s theme of disillusionment.
“WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY? asks a deep-cutting question in a world plagued with wealth and appearances. Rory and Leon Thomas unravel the facade, forcing us to face the void behind materialism. These words resonate, encouraging listeners to introspect on their own authenticity in a world where status often trumps substance.
“WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?” feels like a statement, a moody, contemplative work that paves the way for what’s to come from Rory’s next chapter. If this is only the tip of the iceberg, the road ahead will surely be memorable.
