ew York–based singer-songwriter and musician ROREY transforms raw confession into art that unsettles as much as it heals.
Her sophomore EP, Dysphoria, released August 15th, 2025 is a fearless plunge into the contradictions of mental illness, where haunting melodies and ethereal vocals merge with hypnotic, swirling instrumentals. Co-written and produced in 2021 with longtime collaborator Scott Effman, the project captures the chaos, beauty, and disorientation of a young artist clawing her way toward meaning in the midst of a manic episode.
ROREY's 2026 single release "Temporary Tragedy" is powerful, raw and poignant. She confides, "The song is about the cost of self abandonment when you grip intimacy and what it means to choose yourself." The track was accompanied by a cinematic music video chronicling the rumination and spiraling that can follow the end of a relationship. "The video is rooted in my first queer relationship, its message is universal: sometimes love isn’t enough to bridge the gap between hope and reality, when the other person can't meet you there," she shares.
Her single "Dying Fire" is cathartic dream pop with bittersweet melodies and lush arrangements. ROREY explains, " 'Dying Fire' sits in this space between love and impossibility. The song doesn't blame or excuse it simply states with radical acceptance that what once was can never be again. Similar to 'Temporary Tragedy' love can only go so far when one person is left carrying it alone"
Her track "Sudden Death" is an enveloping musical embrace complete with grit-laced guitars, emotive vocals and enthralling sonics. Rorey confides," 'Sudden Death' admits defeat before the game ever begins because I already knew I lost to my feelings for this person. It's also an innuendo for intense desire that goes far beyond yearning into borderline obsessive memories that held me hostage in the past I projected onto the present."
ROREY shares on her latest single "Binary Thinking", "This chorus is my favorite because, I think we all want to stand on the belief that the other person will regret losing us but, I also wondered if I even mattered enough to be felt as a loss. I wondered a lot if my absence was more of a relief. I feel like the song highlights that cyclical "Binary Thinking" when you're left speculating. While this song was written over a year ago it could have been written yesterday. Silence is open to interpretation and the intention behind it doesn't change the impact."
The four singles are off of her highly anticipated forthcoming album I Get It Now.
ROREY’s music doesn’t just resonate, it names the truths you’re afraid to speak and reminds you that you’re not alone in feeling them.
